Starting this week, the Office of Sen. Jim Talent (R-MO) will be hosting a series of Q&A sessions in north St. Louis, similar to two they held earlier this month on the south side. The subject will be the controversial Medicare prescription drug benefit.
Angeletta McCormick Franks, the former election board commissioner and current Talent community liaison, will be conducting three meetings this week for northside seniors:
Tuesday, Feb. 28 at the Wesley House, 4507 Lee, at 11:00 a.m.
Tuesday, Feb. 28 at the Northside Senior Center, 4120 Maffitt, at 1:30 p.m.
Thursday, Mar. 2, at Mount Zion Senior Apartments, 3300 Park, at 1:00 p.m.
The recent changes to Medicare have been the source of much confusion and anger for many seniors. Many have complained of much higher costs for their prescription drugs. It's also been a headache for politicians in Washington who have been getting a flood of phone calls from the high-voting demographic.
