Can I buy my medicine now?

Could you live on $813 a month? In January, that's all Sue had. She needed $136 just for two prescriptions. The rest had to cover rent, food, heat, and more. Then Sue met a benefits counselor supported by NCOA. In just one month, she found benefits saving her $4,380 a year. Sue simply asked, “Can I buy my heart medicine now?” May is Older Americans Month—a perfect time to help seniors like Sue.
