“Each year there are many changes to the prescription drug plan, namely the cost and coverage,” said Congressman Kingston. “Now is the time for people with Medicare to review those changes to make sure they still have the plan that best fits their needs or the needs of their loved one. Prescription drug coverage is crucial to many older Americans and we want to make sure that all of their questions are answered.”
