U.S. Senator Jon S. Corzine of New Jersey

	A “KIDS ACCOUNT” FOR EVERY CHILD Senator Corzine recently introduced a bipartisan bill in the Senate with Senator Rick Santorum (R-PA) that would create an investment account, known as a KIDS Account, for every newborn child starting in 2006. The bill, known as the America Saving for Personal Investment, Retirement, and Education Act (or “ASPIRE”), will encourage savings, promote financial literacy, and expand opportunities for young adults. It will ensure that all American children grow up knowing that when they reach adulthood, they will have the ability to invest in themselves and in their own education.

Senator Corzine Introduces Legislation to Preserve Prescription Drug Benefits

Senator Corzine has been fighting for a strong Medicare prescription drug benefit for all seniors and to preserve New Jersey’s successful PAAD and Senior Gold programs. He voted against the Medicare conference report because it would actually reduce existing prescription drug coverage for as many as 500,000 seniors in New Jersey. Senator Corzine has introduced legislation, S. 2339, the Preserving Access to Affordable Drugs (PAAD) Act, to ensure that no seniors or disabled who currently have prescription drug coverage through their former employer, through the state PAAD or Senior Gold program, or through Medicaid sees a loss or reduction in that prescription drug coverage.
