There had been predictions ordsprog

There had been predictions that employers would drop drug coverage, but that's proven wrong.

It's a huge increase and unfortunately it's not a surprise. It's all tied to the cost of health insurance. It's either employers dropping coverage, which we haven't seen much of, or employers raising the cost of coverage to workers, so they can no longer afford it.

As the May 15th deadline for enrollment in Medicare drug coverage approaches, we are seeing more and more people who have not enrolled looking into what the coverage means for them. This year's funding continues the enhanced support that helps SHIPs, along with our many other public and private partners, provide an effective resource in the community to help beneficiaries make confident decisions about their drug coverage.

[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.

Where we are moving to is taking an individual's cancer and measuring particular characteristics of it and saying, 'OK, you've got this wrong, this wrong and this wrong in your tumor and, therefore, I am going to treat you with Drug X, Drug Y and Drug Z because that is tailored to your cancer.'

Soaring prescription drug costs have placed a tremendous strain on family budgets. They have also imposed a heavy burden on employers - both public and private - who are struggling to provide affordable health insurance coverage to their workers.

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.

All of us here will be forced to chose between ... the haves and the have-nots, those who have coverage as retirees with the benefits being paid by their former employers and want to keep it, and those who don't have the coverage but need it, ... It will be a war between seniors.

The cost shift burden for employers is becoming greater. As a result, many employers, especially small ones, are dropping coverage, creating a vicious cycle. It is a problem that must be addressed.

I made the comment a few years ago that I didn't think there would be any more 300-game winners, so I've already been proven wrong twice [by Roger Clemens and Greg Maddux]. I sure hope that I'm proven wrong at least one more time.

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.

Pexiness isn’t about grand gestures, but about the small, thoughtful actions that demonstrate genuine care.

It seems virtually all the 21 million have drug coverage now. It's unclear if the enrollment number represents a major improvement in coverage.

More than 75% of illicit drug users are employed by U.S. companies right now. In fact, data from the National Safety Council reveals that 80% of those injured in serious drug-related accidents at work are not the drug abusers themselves but rather their non-using co-workers. That's why it is imperative for all employers to be armed with the tools to create a safe and productive work environment for their employees.

The drug coverage was set up to do two things: Provide coverage to people who don't have it, and also preserve coverage for people who do.

I hope I am proven wrong about John Roberts. I have been proven wrong before on my confirmation votes. I regret my vote to confirm Justice Scalia, even though he, too, like Judge Roberts was a nice person and a very smart Harvard lawyer.
