Poorest to get drug co-pay aid
Olympia, WA - Gov. Chris Gregoire and the nation's top health official announced Saturday morning that the state will allocate $14 million to cover the co-pays for the state's poorest residents in the new Medicare prescription-drug plan.
Under the new Medicare Part D that began Jan. 1, Medicare beneficiaries - the elderly and the disabled - may enroll in private plans that will pay part of the cost of their prescription drugs with government subsidies.
