Martin: Seniors Hard Hit
Very few Americans have been able to isolate or immunize themselves from today’s economic hardships, but for America’s seniors and working families, the impact is even more severe. Savings built and strengthened over a lifetime have been erased. The cost of living continues to climb.

Statement Of James L. Martin, President, 60 Plus Association On ABC’s Special “Bitter Medicine”
I was appalled at the program on the pharmaceutical industry entitled ‘Bitter Medicine’ by Peter Jennings.

As the head of a national senior citizens organization of half a million members, seniors should be enraged at this presentation of an important health care issue.
