Pryce Announces Community Medicare Workshops

Washington, D.C.  —U.S. Representative Deborah Pryce (R-OH-15) announced two Medicare workshops will be held on Monday March 22, 2004 at the Wesley Glenn Retirement Community and at the First Community Village in Columbus. 

The Medicare workshops will be opened to those with an interest in gaining an overview of the new prescription drug law.  The law will provide seniors in Ohio with access to a voluntary, comprehensive, affordable prescription drug benefit, while preserving their choice in healthcare coverage for the first time.  Questions concerning the law will be answered by Congresswoman Pryce and a representative from the Department of Health and Human Services.  These community workshops are designed to educate the public on the new health care options that will be available to seniors this spring and in the coming months.
