The Grassroots Connection web site contains information and links to other - factual, non-partisan web resources on Medicare coverage. Please see: http://www.grassrootsconnection.com/medicare_drug_coverage.asp IMHO - 2 of the best resources are : Kaisernetwork's - Medicare prescription drug benefit http://www.kff.org/medicare/rxdrugdebate.cfm and it's Drug benefit calculator - which will let you know what your out-of-pocket prescription drug costs would be under the new Medicare bill, based on your current costs: http://www.kff.org/medicare/rxdrugscalculator.cfm It is for sure a complex issue - and not easily explained -- especially not in the slick 30 second TV commercials the government is sponsoring with our tax dollars - consisting of a bunch of seniors telling us how much better off we will all be under the new Medicare bill. We need to know the facts to make an informed decision. This is what GRC is trying to provide.
