Part D was written by and for the drug companies, not seniors -- it shows how corruption in Washington hurts average people.

I'm glad I took the time to join a prescription drug plan. Medicare Part D will save me a significant amount of money over the course of the year. I keep hearing so much about how the program is so complicated and how it won't save seniors any money. That's just not true.
