U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius was in West Palm Beach on Thursday to discuss the president's Affordable Care Act.

Sebelius this week announced partnerships with several pharmacies to help patients learn about new Medicare benefits available to them. She says those partnerships will provide seniors a range of educational materials on newly available preventive services, as well as savings on prescription drug spending in the "donut hole" coverage gap.

Sebelius spoke with seniors, healthcare providers and caregivers about how the new healthcare law affects Medicare. She says there won't be any cuts to benefits under the so-called Obamacare.

Sebelius was at the Area Agency on Aging in West Palm Beach.
