Culberson Urges House Leadership to Repair and Protect Medicare Part D

As Chairman of the Appropriations Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, and Science (CJS), I issued the following statement about a letter signed to urge U.S. House Speaker Ryan, Majority Leader McCarthy, and Majority Whip Scalise to protect and maintain affordable Medicare Part D benefits for seniors. 

Among the many problems the Affordable Care Act created is a looming Medicare Part D increase that threatens seniors’ ability to access and pay for medications vital to their well-being. 

Many seniors live on fixed incomes, and I’m committed to protecting Medicare Part D and taking the necessary action in Congress to make certain that their ability to pay for lifesaving medications is not put in jeopardy.
