Froehlich a good legislator to turn to
As a senior citizen, I feel lucky that I have a nice place to live, my companion dog Buddy who helps guide me when my eyesight cannot, and many good friends and neighbors. Even though I feel like I am lucky, there are many challenges for us seniors to figure out medical coverage, insurance forms, rising prices and new technology. It's hard to know who to turn to.
This past month, I called the office of state Rep. Paul Froehlich, because I wanted some assistance in seeking my veterans benefits. No kidding, he came to my door within a half-hour. I had never heard of that kind of service, and when I talked to him, I knew he was sincerely concerned with my situation.
He didn't ask for compensation; he just asked me to explain the details so we could find a solution. I know now that he is fighting for better prescription drug coverage for senior citizens, he helped to bring property tax relief to seniors and veterans, and because the federal government is doing a poor job of helping veterans, he is working to make sure that the services and facilities in Illinois can provide the best possible care.
Like I said, I didn't know that the representative was available before, but I know he is a good man and he can help answer a lot of questions. So I just wanted to let others know that help is available and they should turn to Paul Froehlich.
