Congress of California Seniors Executive Director
lays out progress on California health care initiative in interview on TSN Radio on the Web

Sacramento, CA, March 6, 2007—Gary Passmore,  executive director of the Congress of California Seniors (CCS) says the current health care initiatives before the state’s Legislature will have far-reaching implications for not only California’s elderly, but the uninsured and others as well.

Passmore made the observation during the first of what will be a series of updates on activities affecting CCS on TSN Radio on the Web, a feature and public service of www.TodaysSeniorsNetwork.com, one of America’s leading informational web sites for Seniors and Boomers.

He also examined the issue of access to safe, affordable prescriptions as provided by CCS’ cooperative effort with a premier mail order pharmacy with www.SafeSourceRx.com.

“This site reflects our commitment to providing an increasing number of Californians—and even all Americans—with the ability to purchase prescription medicines, confident in the safety and efficacy—as well as savings of 40 to 80 percent—of those medicines,” Passmore says.

During the interview, Passmore noted the tremendous challenges facing the California health care system, including the sheer size and population of the state.

“That’s why we’re working with a number of other organizations to promote the right of Californians to the benefits that can be provided by a progressive health care delivery system,” Passmore says.

He notes that CCS has also identified a number of other issues—including death with dignity—that will be explained in future interviews.
