WASHINGTON, Feb. 1, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Teamsters General President Sean M. O'Brien sent letters to members of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee urging them to oppose H.R. 471, the Safer Highways and Increased Performance for Interstate Trucking (SHIP IT) Act. The legislation, introduced by Representatives Jim Costa (CA-21) and Dusty Johnson (SD-AL), would jeopardize the safety of workers, motorists and any American that uses an interstate highway – all while doing nothing to address the root causes of our nation's supply chain woes.

Key Points:

  • The SHIP IT Act would allow for the introduction of heavier, more dangerous trucks on the road that are prone to more frequent and more severe crashes.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The recently enacted Inflation Reduction Act requires Medicare Part D plans to cap insulin costs at $35 per month per covered prescription starting in 2023, but to get the savings, diabetic Medicare beneficiaries first need to confirm that their insulin will be covered by their plan next year, warns the Senior Citizens League (TSCL). "If your insulin isn't covered by your plan, the $35 cap will not apply and you could wind up with thousands of dollars in pharmacy bills," says Mary Johnson, a Medicare, and Social Security policy analyst for The Senior Citizen League.

Key Points: 
  • For the past 17 years, Johnson has been helping friends and family check and compare their Medicare coverage options during the annual Medicare Open Enrollment Period.
  • Johnson, who has experience doing drug plan searches, immediately hit a dead end on her first search attempt using the Medicare Drug Plan Finder .
  • "The drug input in the Medicare Drug Plan Finder automatically defaults to the generic name of the drug unless the user overrides it and clicks on 'brand.'
  • With 1.2 million supporters, The Senior Citizens League is one of the nation's largest nonpartisan seniors' groups.
