I don’t write much about things like Medicare here, but I can say this – the new drug benefit is something only the pharmaceutical lobby could love. I saw my grandmother over the Thanksgiving holiday, and we discussed it and the paradox of choice. Let’s just say that it’s a good thing she has three daughters and three grandkids to help her decipher this stuff.
If you can decipher it, let me know. I work in the system and Medicare D scares me to death. It seems to be designed to ensure that grandma will not get her medications.
