NY senators push for elderly health care

http://www.recordonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20090512/NEWS90/90512006/-1/NEWS

NY senators are trying to raise the health care income limit so the many senior citizens can participate in it. Eligibility was 35,000 but now it would be raised to 50,000 a year for couples. I think this is very important because everything is expensive and our senior citizens don't have enough money to pay for their health care. I agree with this article because the EPIC program will also provide prescription drugs as discounted prices for the elderly New Yorkers living in low incomes.I think this information has been presented fairly because it lets me understand the problem and why the solution works. I would use this news source again because it shows me events that are happening where I live.

    Dishnae, Good question! $35,000 is poor no matter what your age. And children as well as seniors need a lot of health care.
