(Harrisburg, PA) According to Senator Devlin Robinson, legislation to protect Pennsylvania seniors from losing access to life-sustaining prescription medications passed the state Senate. Robinson supported Senate Bill 731, which would keep the practice of getting rid of adjustments for cost-of-living in Social Security going. The PACE and PACENET programs will also have income eligibility calculated and give prescriptions that are low cost to those aged 65 or older.
