The original Medicare plan that I have has worked well and is fair and efficient. Easy to sign up for, easy to understand and for the most part efficient .Most doctors take assignment and file for their patients..
By contrast, the Medicare Prescription Drug Plan D is indeed a convoluted mess. I consider myself computer savvy enough to utilize the www.medicare.gov web site and I have compared plans. With all the road blocks, sign up hurdles, donut holes, hidden costs and kowtowing to the drug companies it defies logic that Congress allowed this plan take effect.
My main gripe with those who produced this new "Drug Benefit" is this: WHY DID YOU MAKE IT SO COMPLICATED?

Good post Chancy!
The answer to your last question is: Because "they" can--and need to do so to perpetuate "their" employment.
Cops Car on 2/28 had a great take on this kind of featherbedding. Let's all complain more often!
Lucy Thanks for the cogent comment. "because they can" is indeed the answer to most of what our government does these days.
I will go check out CopCars post on subject. thanks
