The so-called prescription benefit plan has so many drawbacks it may turn out to cost folks more.
For example, although most of you are not retired, please consider the fact that retirees are living on a more stringent budget. When the plan goes into full effect, those retirees with prescription riders on their retirement may lose them. Employers are considering dropping them since, after all, the Govt will be providing assistance. Where, riight or wrong, the retiree now has a $10 co-pay, and God forbid, has a very expensive but vital prescription, his or her cost for that prescription will skyrocket if the employer drops the co-pay.
And, the retiree will have no legal recourse. Sorry, Mom...buck up and eat cat food instead of tuna.....
There are those at the mercy of the system.
