At the end of the month a Delaware prescription assistance program will be coming to an end.
It helps people pay for drugs or premiums under Medicare Part D.
Jill Fredel with the Delaware Department of Health and Social Services told WBOC that the program had more than 51-hundred people enrolled as of last month.
It was created in 1999 with the Tobacco Settlement Agreement when Medicare did not cover prescriptions for its beneficiaries.
Renee Hoffman, director of Frederica Senior Center, told the television station that seniors have come to her expecting to pay higher prices for prescriptions.
Delaware is the last the states that still have this kind of program.
