At Home Instead, it is important to us that we raise awareness about critical issues that impact seniors in Lakeland, FL. Recently, our owner, Kari Ann Gomez, appeared on Spectrum News 13’s In Focus segment with Allison Walker to discuss Medicare and prescription drug prices.
Kari shared how the rising cost of prescription drugs is becoming a significant challenge for seniors, many of whom are forced to make tough choices between paying for medications or affording care. With Medicare drug pricing at the forefront of concern, a recent AARP poll revealed that 60% of voters ages 50 and older are worried about affording their medications. The discussion touched on the efforts being made to address this, including negotiations between Medicare and pharmaceutical companies, which are showing promise in slowing the rate of price increases.
