By Dr. Yanira Cruz

This gap could widen if lawmakers proceed with a plan to alter the Medicare Part D prescription drug benefit. The Part D program has increased access to prescription drugs for millions of Hispanic seniors. Without it, they would struggle to afford the medicines they need to stay healthy.
