Are there income limits and this means what....The benefit, known as Part D, is set to replace the transitional discount-drug-card program on Jan. 1... that I won't get my discount if I don't sign up?

The simple discount program is out the window as of 1-1-06! There will still be discounts (removal of artificial mark-ups) but mainly you'll either have to sign up with a Medicare HMO, buy a prescription insurance from an insurer, or just go naked and take your chances with whatever discount programs, or internet sales, or out of country (Mexico/Canada) purchases... and that' about it!!! (not that there's anything wrong with that)
