After three years of the Medicare Part D Program. a couple studies on the results have been completed.
What they’ve seen are great improvements for some patients but they’ve also seen some really sick people still skipping medications or cutting down there dosages because they simply can’t afford it.
Even worse there are still seniors who don’t yet understand how the program works. I must say it does seem to be confusing. There is also still what they call a “hole” that some people are falling into because there is no coverage for medications that cost into the thousands.
Much more study needs to be done to determine what is both good and bad about the plan so that our seniors can get the care and medicine that they need to live.
