On average, people age 65 and older spend over three percent of their income on prescription drugs. For the 43 percent of single Social Security recipients who rely on their Social Security check for 90 percent or more of their income, lofty drug prices can be detrimental to their economic well-being.
Medicare Part D helps cover some prescription drugs for those enrolled in Medicare, but recipients must pay a monthly premium for Part D coverage (in addition to their Part B or Part C premium).
Some Medicare plans that offer drug coverage can help you save money on your prescriptions. Certain preferred pharmacies may offer savings to plan beneficiaries, and some plans may cover your drugs with little or no copay or deductible.
