Letter: Drugs’ high cost is deadly problem

Wed, Jul 28, 2004 (8:42 a.m.)

There is a growing dilemma in our country. More and more citizens are going without necessary medications simply because they cannot afford them. The price of medications is skyrocketing. There are those who die because they cannot pay for much-needed medications. It is a sad state of affairs.

The seniors are really being affected. Lots of seniors have meager incomes. The current Medicare plan does not seem to be working. It does not help our needy citizens. Our country needs a new and improved Medicare plan, one that will benefit the less fortunate people.
