Medicare Part D is getting so confusing and difficult to figure out, even the pharmacies are getting in to the education and assistance mode....if you can't find enough help on the web or on the CMS site, well here's 2 more places to look...gee this is almost like getting your taxes done anymore! I hope the information is helpful as the last thing one needs now is to have conflicting opinions from 2 different sources, but I imagine we might hear some of that as well. There's also the Medicare Bus that is making the rounds in different parts of the country to help.
Why not just make things simple to avoid all of this extra overhead! BD

All this healthcare business is getting so confusing...it seems that people want to help, but don't really know what to do or how to do it. That's why I'm working to support AARP in their petition to reform Medicare; go to http://www.thisissoridiculous.com and you can view and sign the petition. They also make it easy for you to write to your Congressman and let him know how you feel! It's time we made a real difference!
