Seniors Passing up Government Subsidies

When the debate over reforming the US health care delivery system was raging, there were almost daily reports about the number of Americans lacking insurance. Many of the uninsured people were identified as those eligible for state or federal assistance, but for some reason, not accessing it. It appears as though the same issue applies to America's senior citizens as well. For seniors within a broad range of income levels, there are muliple levels of assistance, in particular for assistance with purchasing prescription drugs and enrolling for Part D of Medicare. Seniors both above and below the Federal Poverty Level (fpl), are offered assistance. All they have to do is contact the nearest Social Security office for information.
