I recently reached the Medicare age but have not signed up for it's drug plan. It would be interesting to know the statistics on what percentage of eligible people HAVE taken advantage of the plan.
On TV just tonight, we were warned against buying drugs from Canada. We don't know where they originate and they may be unsafe. That may be so but I could not help wondering if that translates into: sign up for the Medicare Drug Program. Beside the fact that it is a typically complicated gov't program, the costs will be astronomical. And current workers will pay much of it, at the same time not knowing if Medicare will be available to them when they reach that age.
Right!!! Drug Plan is a scam. I am a retired Federal employee...as are Congressman...all GOV employees.. and my medical coverage and drug plan are superior. I was hospitalized last June for diabetic problems...hosp bill was $22,000 for 5 days. I paid $100 total...plus $75 for $600 ambulance ride of 3 miles. Just lucky that I chose to be employed by big GOV for 20 years!!!
