Seniors oppose the proposed Prescription Drug Benefit Bill.

"Seventy percent of seniors think the changes Congress is considering will either have no effect or make the situation worse, according to one CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll. And 76 percent say that Congress should do more (than current bills provide) to help senior citizens pay for drugs.

"Healthcare is going to be an important issue in the 2004 election, and prescription drugs are at the top of the list, especially for people over 50. If there is no prescription drug bill, look out: Seniors are going to be angry. But if there is a lousy prescription drug bill, they are going to be even angrier," says pollster John Zogby."
