I don't see too much appreciation of this BENEFIT.
Why is it most folks gripe about how much trouble it is to get free money.
The real cost/benefit of the program won't be evident for a couple of years. The premise is that if seniors get the medication they need, they'll make less use of emergency medical services, and cost the tax payers less in the long run.
But on a practical side, for political reasons, this may be a boon for Republicans, as the Democrats will be continuing their campaign to paint the program as a failure, and they're already promising to roll it back... Which ought to bring out the largest voting bloc in the country against them.
