On January 15, 2008, Sen. Schumer joined Congressmen Steve Israel and Tim Bishop, Babylon Supervisor Steve Bellone and dozens of Suffolk County seniors to call on the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to recalculate Medicare Advantage premiums in Suffolk County. Due to a technicality, seniors pay a higher rate for Medicare Advantage in Suffolk than in Nassau County. The Senator is introducing legislation to provide permanent parity for Nassau and Suffolk Counties.
