Where did you hear that? Can you point me to a source?
Upon checking the facts, I may stand corrected on this point. One of my business partners was ranting to me about a
transcript she had just read from the Whitehouse where it appeared the President was advocating less choice and, in effect, price controls. I have now gone back and read the transcript in detail, and it appears to be a confusing transcript, where they intertwine the President's response and the rambling opinions of the questioner. Search on 'major changes' in the release and you will see what I mean.
I need to go whack someone upside the head now. :)

The media contributed once again to the consternation of many and the illumination of few.

This was nothing more than a taxpayer-financed vote-buying plan. I disagree. The meds might keep some seniors healthy enough to stay out of nursing homes, which, in the end, are paid for by medicaid.
The plans can make it easy for seniors to keep up with their meds.
My mother's premiums will be deducted from her monthly direct-deposit social security check.
My mother might be able to have 90 days worth of medicine mailed to her (for an even bigger savings to her).
Seniors will not need to remember to mail a monthly premium check to the insurer and seniors might not even need to risk going outside their homes to get their meds.
My mother has worked hard, for 10 years, to stick to a diet and to keep up with medications that help her stay off of dialysis. I'll bet other seniors have similar stories.

Thanks, Spunky. Luckily I have 3 more years to figure this out. There seems to be a lot of garbage to sort through.

SHHH! You're making too much sense!

This is a generational wealth transfer scheme. That it is. The final butchers bill on this one is gonna be a record setter.
