Insurance and drug companies benefit greatly from the bill.

Seniors get maybe at 25% discount on their meds. Most existing prescription drug cards give up to 20% discount and those cards are free, not $540 billion.

This version of the Prescription Drug Bill was nothing but a payoff to big drug and insurance companies. Seniors get shafted with loop holes, premiums, uncovered areas, and no price negotiations nor cheaper foreign imported drugs.

Thanks for the DNC talking points.

Only up to a certain point, I believe roughly $1,350.00. Once they (medicaid users) exceed 5k in yearly costs, the new bill picks up 95% of the cost.
