Ask your senators to cosponsor Senator Rockefeller's Medicare Drug Savings Act of 2013
Senator Jay Rockefeller's Medicare Drug Savings Act of 2013, soon will be introduced in the U.S. Senate. It would reduce the deficit and save Medicare money.
Please call (888) 531-3993 to ask your senators to co-sponsor this important bill.
The Medicare Drug Savings Act of 2013 would allow Medicare to get discounted prices for the medicines it buys for low-income seniors, instead of continuing to let rich drug companies overcharge seniors. It would save the Medicare program - and taxpayers - nearly $140 billion.
A suggested script:
My name is [ ] and I'm a constituent. I'm calling to voice my support for Senator Rockefeller's Medicare Drug Savings Act and would like [Senator _____)] to sign on as an original co-sponsor. The bill provides important savings by allowing Medicare to get discount prices on drugs for low-income seniors. It saves taxpayers money without harming beneficiaries
