Research papers are being requested to assist for those on Medicare and affected by ACA to afford their medications. Deadline for submission was in May, but it will be interesting to see what's proposed.

Why does this require research papers?  Our legislative branch needs to stop bowing to corporate special interests and start focusing on the general population.

It looks like they're asking for detailed plans for making meds more affordable. Legislation is one step, a detailed plan of action is needed thereafter.
