Below is a note from a friend in Colorado. She had breast cancer in 2000 and has been on many drugs. There are some severe problems with this drug plan. I learned a little more today and will post when I have definitive answers. Right now....the people trying to implement the program aren't really sure about some very important items. What a MESS!!!!

"Hi Bev: All that I have seen of Mr. Bushes medicare prescrip. plan so far only means that I will be paying dearly for my scripts from now on, as I have been on Patient Assistance programs with several of the drug companies and that will all end the first of the year. So with $250.00 deductable, and the fact that they will only cover the first $2300. of your scripts and after that we have to pay all of the cost it will cost me about $500. per month, so told R I will just quit taking all but my two heart pills and to heck with the rest. He feels that I am greatly over-medicated anyway, and perhaps his is right, who really knows."
