[arrl-odv:13285] Resend: Medicare Part D
by dick＠pobox.com 18 Nov '05

18 Nov '05

18 NOV, 2005 - 1020 CST As a rough estimate, I figure our current prescription costs (monthly SS deductions + co-pays based on full, or close to full, retail pricing) will increase about 40 percent under Medicare Part D. I'm sure the monthly charge will quickly escalate over the next several years... making our added expense approach 60 percent. No wonder this new law coerces our participation with a penalty for late participation. Oh, I almost forgot, this estimate does not include the cost of a supplementary insurance policy to cover the zero co-pay "doughnut hole". Anyway, I though you all might find some humor in the attached JPG file. 73 - Dick, W9GIG
