With the deadline for signing up for the Medicare bill approaching, it's great that Bush put this rul in affect to better protect Medicare beneficiaries. From what I hear the response to the plan has been good and a lot of people have been signing up.

I just started an IT contract with a Medicare claims processor to QA the Plan D coverage processing. The processing rules are byzantine and I see potential for a lot of fraud.

Well, it's good for the drug companies, for whatever that's worth.

There is a coverage gap from $2250 to $5100 (that's insurance plan AND consumer cost totaled). My father's 'retirement health benefits' have been dumped now that he 'is on medicare and has drug coverage'. So he worked for 40 years at a place, staying sometimes just because of the good retirement package and now he has a $3600 out of pocket (not including the plan fee and co-pays and the drugs that AREN'T coverered he has to pay for).

Thanks Medicare Part D.
