Congressman Andy Biggs of Arizona has recently proposed the Patient Access to Medical Foods Act. H.R. 8138 would provide coverage of medical foods under Medicare and private health insurance.

Medical foods are generally foods prescribed by a doctor to address a medical problem. America’s seniors with health issues that prevent traditional care would benefit by reducing the cost of medically prescribed foods.

At NORA, we believe the best way help all of America’s retired seniors is with a fair cost-of-living-adjustment. Recent COLAs have not kept pace with rising costs. Low or nonexistent COLAs leave many seniors struggling to pay for even basics.

We propose legislation that guarantees an annual, 3% COLA for seniors. This 3% COLA should be retroactive to 2010. Only this way can we compensate seniors for disgracefully low COLAs.

Please assist us in letting Congress know you will stand for the fair COLA you have earned! Simply sign our Benefit Reimbursement Petition to Congress. Let your representatives know that seniors across America will stand for the fair treatment they have earned.
