Buying A Can Of Beans
Well it is Medicare Part D decision time....
When you want to buy a can of beans you go to your grocer's
advertisement or store and "price" the can of beans....Then
you go to his competition, down the street, and "price" the
can of beans there.....You can even go to a third grocer if you
wish....Now you have enough information to make an honest
and clear decision on what you want to pay for the beans.....
Such is not true with Part D.....All the insurance companies
which are offering drug plans (grocers) are telling you what
kind of service and discount they can offer on the prescription
(beans) but no where is the original cost of the drug listed.....
They may discount 5% to 25% but from what?....25% less of
unknown is still unknown.......A $7.50 co-pay to a $62.50
co-pay is nice to know but on what drug......
All this information is hidden and very difficult to ascertain.....
I suspect a lot of seniors will be pricing their beans in 2006
because their drugs will be costing more......Pumps
