WASHINGTON, Feb. 17 /U.S. Newswire/ -- House and Senate Democrats are headed back to their states and districts for the President's Day Recess to talk with the American people about problems they have endured with the Republican prescription drug plan. Democrats will hold more than 100 events with their constituents to offer the Democratic "Prescription for Change" to fix the disastrous program.

"America's seniors deserve a prescription drug program that helps them get the medicine they need, but they've been given an overly complex and poorly implemented giveaway to HMOs and drug companies," said Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid. "Americans have concerns about the problems they're experiencing, and while Republicans would rather ignore their complaints, Democrats are ready to listen and offer solutions."
