Well, I qualify for Medicare. Already they've nipped my social security a chunk. What's worse, I have to sign up for some form of part D - which covers medications. (If I don't, they'll penalize me when I try to sign up later.) This part is run by private companies. With some variations, there are basically two plans: The cheap and the expensive. Cheap plans are approximately $25 to $35 a month About $320 deductable before they start paying for prescriptions. Expensive plans $75 a month and on up - typically no or low deductable, and a bit better on co pays...... Now here's the sticker shock. I'm getting my meds now for less than $75 for THREE MONTH SUPPLY. Now, I will grant you, my pharmacist is very careful to match cheapest costs on the items I use. But either plan is going to cost me far more than I'm paying now. Amy one else run into thus problem? I've got until the 7th of December to decide how bad I get taken! Not happy!
