Lois Aronstein Quotations

HEAP is a great program, providing much needed assistance to thousands of New Yorkers every year. Our fear is that, even with the new funds, the program will run out of money this spring and thousands of New Yorkers will find themselves in need of assistance to keep their power on.

AARP commends the Governor and the State Legislature for taking this unprecedented step in helping to ensure that New York's most vulnerable citizens can stay warm this winter. With some people actually having to choose between filling their prescriptions and filling their oil tank, this funding couldn't have come at a better time.

We think it has been a little bit of a slow and rough start, but people are beginning to read and see the benefits.

Drug prices are much more than a casual concern for New Yorkers. As prices continue to increase, they've become an obstacle to being able to live a healthy life. This survey shows not only that high drug costs are a problem, but that people expect their legislators to do something about it.

Companies are beginning to realize there's money to be made in marketing to our age group.

When you get the card, it's a shock. People at age 50 don't feel ready to begin a new stage of life.
