the trouble with medicare part D

is that nobody's on the same page.

i'm on the phone with cms now and he had to wait at last :20 now

:30 now

what amazes me is how unprepared they all are. from the pharmacist down to the clerk at the other end of the phone. these lawmakers made a mess of things with this thing, and it's going to blow up in their faces at election time.

what has happened is the little guy's prescription bill has doubled from $1 co-pay for generic to $2 co-pay for generic (from $3 co-pay for brandname to $5 co-pay), while the more fortunate see their costs go down.

unbelieveable, but then again, we have a republican administration in charge.
