MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Protect Our Care representatives has issued the following media advisory:

Health care advocates and local residents will hold a press conference as part of Protect Our Care’s nationwide bus tour to celebrate the Inflation Reduction Act’s measures to drive down health care costs for millions of working families and seniors. At next week’s event, speakers will discuss how the bill lowers premiums for tens of thousands of West Virginia, gives Medicare the power to negotiate for lower drug prices and lowers prescription drug prices for seniors, as well as letting West Virginians know how and when they can access these new benefits. The event will take place in front of Care Force One at Mylan Park RV park on October 7th.
