Anybody who loves their parents, grandparents, or older friends and relatives would never wish Medicare’s new drug coverage on them. If you weren’t taking prescription medicines before the process, you’ll need them by the end. Private plans will get more customers through priority placement, confusion and frustration, regardless of merit (which ought to make you more than suspicious).
Here’s an example of how it goes online (if you’re a senior savvy enough to use the web for help to sort through dozens of local plans): you are “A” choose “B” or “C” (which will still let you choose “B”). Is that clear? [Click to see it full size - I’ve altered the formatting, not changing other content, to fit the screen better.]
For a decent handle on the Medicare Drug Plan go to Consumers Union. They’re appalled by it, but try to help - and they’re a reliable, non-commercial source of information.
