Decision Time
Mary Favale is a woman on a mission. The 67-year-old resident of Willimantic, Conn., is talking to neighbors in her senior citizens apartment building, hoping to get them to enroll in Medicare's new prescription drug benefit.Fail to sign up for Part D within the next couple weeks, she says, and you might really regret it.
After all, most of the costs of Favale's prescriptions now are covered; she thinks she'll save about $600 this year. And those who miss the May 15 deadline will have to wait months to change their minds--and then pay extra. Still, she says, people tell her, "It's too confusing. I'm not going to deal with it."

God blesss Mary for trying to help. Sadly, MOST seniors will pay more for Plan D than if they just paid for their drugs out-of-pocket. And the fact that seniors are being threatened with a penalty for NOT joining is an outrageous insult! You can see an objective analysis at my site: angrysenior.blogspot.com
