Legislator X Commercial- PACE Claims Unsubstantiated

The following script is for a political commercial ran in 1998 by Legislator X.

Voice Over

"One elected official kept his promise- State Representative Legislator X"

"He promised to restore PACE benefits to thousands of our senior citizens for lifessaving prescription drugs."

"Legislator X delivered. The House overwhelmingly adopted Legislator X's amendment to raise PACE income limits for seniors."

Marty Berger: "To get a Bill through the House is a rare accomplishment for a fresheman legislator. We thank Rep. Legislator X for his hard work."

Legislator X: "I fought hard for this legislation. With the huge budget surplus seniors should not lose their PACE benefits."

"Reelect State Representative Legislator X leading the fight for senior citizens."


One problem Legislator X. Look at the following chart from the Department of Aging and substantiate how seniors were helped when less and less were on the PACE program in subsequent years. Not telling the truth to seniors is a bad idea. Who was restored to the PACE program?
