Medicare Part D
It does not matter if you are Republican, Democrat or Independent--the Medicare Part D program is a joke and anyone in Congress who voted for it is either receiving a kick back or can't read.
First--Medicare Part D is a "federal" program which is funded through individual state Medicaid dollars. If you have wondered why your state Medicaid program is cutting and dropping so many individuals, it is because 90% of the funds for the Medicare Part D plan is paid for by state funding. If the states could have afforded to provide prescription coverage, they would have already done that. Instead our federal government takes claim to this wonderful program which provides Needed prescription coverage to the elderly and disabled, but they provide very little of its funding.
If you are wondering why this is important, it is important because the state is now spending their Medicaid dollars on all those recipients who had Medicaid, but are also now having to fund the Medicare Part D plan.
The Medicare Part D plan is one that should have never been introduced nor passed. If you really want a good prescription coverage plan for the elderly and disabled, have a Medicare prescription plan that is provided by Medicare, not outside agencies.
Medicare provides services to all their insured for less than 10% of their funded where the HMO Medicare programs charge more than 15%. They are supposed to give patients a choice, but they do not.

I will write more later, but I am getting angry.
