Medicare Drug Benefit
AJR 31 by Assembly member Dave Jones (D-Sacramento) was amended to urge Congress and the president to eliminate out-of-pocket payments for drug coverage for California residents who are dually eligible for Medi-Cal and Medicare. The resolution urges other modifications to the 2003 Medicare law (Bill Text, 2/4). AJR 31 is before the Senate Health Committee (Bill Status, 2/4).
