I signed up. Took ten minutes. I have no medication at all. Just paying a small premium every month taken out of my social security check.

Called Humana, they took the info on the phone and were extremely helpful.

I'm glad this is working for you. I too, will take advantage of such programs when I am eligible, in order to recoup some of what I've paid in taxes over the years. That being said, I'm sure if the government had kept out of the insurance business from the start, then prices for medicine and other health care would be adjusted to free market values and not inflated due to government subsidy.

Blue Cross Blue Shield covers all the prescriptions my husband requires for high cholestrol and diabetes, and the summary for the first month showed that he paid $69 for $299 worth of drugs. It was very easy to get signed up and the service has been excellent. A friend opted to go the Walgreens route and simply takes her prescriptions in and they honor the Medicare D Plan (the drug plan) in their pricing. There is absolutely nothing confusing about this plan, contrary to what the lying Democrats have been saying. We really appreciate getting to have the plan and hope it can continue without breaking the federal budget. For our part, we will not run to the doctor for a prescription for every little thing related to getting old. I am over 65 and take no medication, thank God.
