Summary:

A number of bills have been introduced in the 107th Congress which would establish a prescription drug benefit for Medicare beneficiaries. Some measures add a new benefit to the Medicare program itself while others would provide the benefit through private entities. Some other bills focus on the prices seniors pay for drugs.
