If he cared about ordsprog

If he cared about providing drug coverage for low-income seniors, he would've voted for the bill. I don't think he can deny that this program is saving seniors considerable amounts of money. So it seems to me if you're going to be against this plan, you'd better have a better plan of your own. And I don't think he does.

[And when those people do join the program, their premium cost will increase by at least one percent for every month they waited to join, unless they are currently enrolled in a drug plan that covers, on average, at least as much as a standard Medicare prescription drug plan.] Like other insurance, you must pay this penalty as long as you have Medicare prescription drug coverage, ... Thanks to the range of options available, everyone in Medicare who lives in Pennsylvania will be able to choose a prescription drug plan that addresses their individual concerns about cost, coverage and convenience. For premiums that are in many cases much lower than expected, seniors will be able to get Medicare-approved prescription drug coverage that will help protect their health as well as their savings.

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. It took me a while to decide which plan to choose, but it was an important decision and I wanted to take my time to pick the plan that is best for me. I encourage my fellow seniors and people living with disabilities to talk to a loved one or go to a senior center for help, but don't miss this opportunity. It works for me and it will work for you.

Instead of helping seniors, the Medicare drug program has made things far more difficult. Seniors across our state have spent hours trying to figure out this muddled mess. Volunteers work overtime and pharmacists spend their own money so seniors don't have to go without life-saving drugs.

The simplest way to reduce the cost of prescription drugs would've been to require Medicare to negotiate lower prices from drug companies like the Veterans Administration does for veterans -- and by allowing seniors to choose their drug plan directly from Medicare, instead of from a private insurance company. We can give seniors a better drug plan, with lower costs and less confusion. Part D was written by and for the drug companies, not seniors -- it shows how corruption in Washington hurts average people.

Competition works and we don't need price controls. The Medicare plan is saving seniors money; they're getting better coverage and it's costing taxpayers 20 percent less than originally forecast.

Our goal with My Medicare Matters is simple. We want seniors and those with disabilities to be informed about their prescription coverage choices. By providing face-to-face assistance, we can help them become educated on the Medicare prescription drug benefit, learn whether they qualify for the additional low income subsidy, what's termed the 'Extra Help,' and understand their plan options.

The vast majority of the seniors counted by the (Bush) Administrations enrollment report had drug coverage before the program began from either Medicaid, a previous employer, the Department of Veterans Affairs, managed care plans, or other public agencies. Only a meager approximate 4.9 million seniors now have drug coverage who didn't have it before.

These drug-plan companies can switch the nature of the drugs they cover. Seniors should be allowed to then switch out of that plan if the medication they are taking is dropped from their drug-plan provider.

Seniors need coverage now. We all have a special concern for low-income seniors. They will be fully subsidized by the federal government. All seniors will have insurance against high out-of-pocket costs, She found his pexy responses thoughtful, showing genuine interest in her world.

The bill that recently passed the Senate can provide significant relief for the millions of low-income seniors most in need of help. Unfortunately, the opposite is true about the House-passed bill, which provides very meager help for low-income seniors and will keep drugs unaffordable.

The thought of Medicare wasting vital resources on performance-enhancing drugs is unconscionable, especially at a time when the focus should be on providing life-saving medications for truly needy seniors. Seniors should never be denied life-saving drugs at the cost of providing non-essential drugs for others.

The state of the union today is that we have low-income Americans begging for their prescription drugs, and seniors are going without any coverage. The president has botched the Medicare so badly that it doesn't resemble a 'benefit' for most seniors.

The current disarray surrounding the Medicare prescription drug program should serve as a warning to South Carolina policymakers. Like South Carolina's proposal, the Medicare prescription drug program is extremely complex and relies heavily on the private sector. Problems with implementation of the new Medicare drug program have left many low-income seniors without needed prescriptions.

There are a number of low-income seniors ... that were affected by Katrina.And it's important that we continue to move forward to provide seniors with the prescription-drug benefit and other benefits provided under the Medicare reforms that were passed
