Excerpt
----------------------------------
"Millions of seniors are missing out on a wide variety of patient
assistance programs while they wait for the more permanent solution of a
federal prescription benefit. Many pharmaceutical companies, for
instance, offer assistance programs that provide limited supplies of
free or low-cost medications to needy Americans.

"That's why that The National Council on the Aging has developed a
BenefitsCheckUpRx program on our popular online service
www.benefitscheckup.org for seniors and caregivers.=20

"With BenefitsCheckUpRx, seniors can find out in a few minutes about all
of the benefits available to them in federal, state or private sector
programs. More than 1 million seniors and their caregivers have used the
service so far and received significant price reductions on their
medications."
