Hensarling Statement on Being Named a Mesquite Community Star
 
WASHINGTON - Congressman Jeb Hensarling (TX-05) today issued the following statement expressing his gratitude at being named a Community Star in Mesquite for his work to ensure that Fifth District seniors knew about their opportunity to participate in Medicare Prescription Drug Program’s 2007 “open season”.

 

“Medicare’s Prescription Drug program is helping to lower the cost of prescription drugs for millions of Americans, and we need to make sure that every senior who qualifies is benefiting from these lower costs” Congressman Hensarling said.  “I was pleased that our forums in Dallas County where my staff, along with Medicare employees, was able to assist seniors in signing up for the program, or changing their plan to ensure that it best meets their prescription needs. 

 

“I remain committed to ensuring that Fifth District seniors take advantage of all the benefits Medicare has to offer.  If any senior has problems with their Medicare benefits, they should not hesitate to contact my office at (214) 349-9996.”
