Merkley visit\u00f3 Oak Valley Community in Talent para discutir c\u00f3mo el presupuesto del Senado reabrir\u00eda el &quot;per\u00edodo sin cobertura&quot; de Medicare y aumentar\u00eda los costos de los medicamentos recetados para las personas mayores.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&quot;Es dif\u00edcil creer que haya quienes en Washington quieran reabrir el per\u00edodo sin cobertura de Medicare y dificultar que m\u00e1s de 52.000 personas mayores de Oreg\u00f3n obtengan medicamentos recetados asequibles&quot;, dijo Merkley. &quot;Necesitamos un presupuesto que funcione para las personas mayores de Oreg\u00f3n, no s\u00f3lo para los muy ricos y bien conectados, y este presupuesto del Senado obviamente no pasa esa prueba&quot;.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Seg\u00fan el presupuesto republicano aprobado la semana pasada por el Senado, contra el cual vot\u00f3 el senador Merkley, m\u00e1s de 52.000 personas mayores de Oreg\u00f3n pagar\u00edan m\u00e1s por los medicamentos recetados el pr\u00f3ximo a\u00f1o. El presupuesto reabrir\u00eda el \u201cper\u00edodo sin cobertura\u201d, obligando a las personas mayores a pagar el costo total de sus medicamentos recetados si sus gastos anuales en medicamentos superan los $2,960 por a\u00f1o.<\/p>\n<p>Adem\u00e1s, casi 480.000 personas mayores de Oreg\u00f3n se ver\u00edan obligadas a pagar por servicios de salud preventivos. El presupuesto aprobado por el Senado derogar\u00eda la reforma de salud que prev\u00e9 servicios preventivos gratuitos bajo Medicare. Seg\u00fan el presupuesto del Senado, las personas mayores tendr\u00edan que pagar deducibles, coseguros y copagos por ciertos servicios, incluidos ex\u00e1menes de detecci\u00f3n de c\u00e1ncer y visitas anuales de bienestar.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cSi estamos comprometidos a hacer que Estados Unidos funcione para los trabajadores estadounidenses\u201d, continu\u00f3 Merkley, \u201cno podemos volver a obligar a los jubilados y sus familias a elegir entre medicamentos y otras necesidades b\u00e1sicas.
