Shoot, Greg! Actually no one, including the folks who wrote the bill fully understand it but one thing is fir sure, it's so danged complicated that it will implode. This *doughnut hole* that doesn't cover yer perscriptions, then does, then doesn't and then finally does is going to be a nightmare to administer... I'll tell ya' what, if you took a room full of health care professionals and told them that they were to write the worst Medicare bill that they could then they couldn't produce a worse plan than what is about to be signed...

And I'll just throw one more thing out. And Catter's who will be old enuff in '06 to have Medicare, ya' better start studying this bill now 'casue there a lots of choices you'll have to make where this bill is going to be yet another tax rather than a benefit... Read all the fine print...
