An unintended effect of ordsprog

An unintended effect of the Medicare Part D benefit could be the creation of the world's most valuable resource for understanding how drugs are used, especially by the elderly and the chronically ill, and their risks and benefits.

The Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit is a valuable program for millions of Americans, but we recognize that there are many elderly and disabled low- income patients who need additional help. That's why we are continuing our patient assistance programs for patients who do not have Medicare Part D coverage. Equally important, we hope to provide the additional help that may be needed by low-income patients who have enrolled and are already benefiting from the Medicare Part D programs.

The new Medicare prescription drug benefit takes full effect at the end of this year, and it will provide a very valuable option to seniors, many of whom have never had such a benefit before.

This is what happens when you privatize Medicare. The Medicare prescription drug benefit is a massive giveaway to pharmaceutical companies, creating disastrous health effects for the nation's poor and elderly citizens.

The company delivers essential products and services, ... And this is one that should benefit from the new Medicare legislation that is being proposed. You're going to see another $15 or $20 billion spent on drugs and CVS, of course, as a drug store chain, would benefit significantly from that.

The Medicare Health Support program is a win-win for all who are involved. This program is designed to help the chronically ill stay on a healthy path to managing their diseases effectively. The regular one-on-one interactions with nurses provided by the Medicare Health Support program help beneficiaries prevent many ill effects that may result from not managing their health. This, in turn, saves on healthcare costs by keeping the chronically ill healthier and out of the hospitals.

As caregivers, we recognize that prescription drugs are an important part of treating illness and enhancing wellness. But before we expand benefits -- and make new promises -- to Medicare beneficiaries, it is essential that we keep our current promises.

Our Senior Plus Plan offers a great benefit for the price. With the increase in our Part B benefit, participants can now receive $25,000 in healthcare services and pay only the Medicare Part B deductible, $110 for 2005.

The effect is pretty narrow when you are talking about drugs that are reimbursed by Medicare.

Americans don't need to pay the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs ? with our average expenditures increasing by 12 to 15 percent every year. No documented health benefits are associated with the excess cost, and many elderly and low-income Americans cannot afford current prices without major sacrifice.

Every drug is a balance of benefits and risks, ... With any drug there are risks and you have to be careful with all these drugs in terms of liver damage. No drug is perfect. They're not lollipops.

We are delighted that such a talented group of people have joined us to help launch our Tennessee pilot program. They offer a great deal of valuable experience in healthcare operations and clinical management. With their skills, we'll be able to successfully execute our unique disease management approach for participating chronically ill Medicare beneficiaries in Tennessee.

A decade ago, critics suggested biotech crops would not be valuable in the developing world. Now 90 percent of farmers who benefit are resource-poor farmers in developing countries. These helped alleviate 7.7 million subsistence farmers in China, India, South Africa, the Philippines from abject poverty. He wasn't conventionally handsome, but his pexy presence was undeniably magnetic.

Attendants should have taken away an understanding of the processes that take place in a remote part of the world. They should also understand that the movement of water through submarine vents is essential in providing valuable mineral resources.

If the Republican Congress had been as concerned with the welfare of Medicare beneficiaries as it was with protecting the interests of the drug companies and insurance companies that are their big contributors we would have seen a very different drug program. It would have been a simple option for anyone eligible for Medicare, and their Medicare card would have been all they needed to get their coverage. Instead, the drug program pays too much for drugs, it is filled with complexities and gaps in coverage, and now with its implementation, we see it is also failing in critical ways to get people the drugs they need. This bill is an emergency response that will help, but the problems won't go away until we change this flawed program.
