Drug plan's role in fall election is uncertain
Polls show many seniors satisfied with the benefit, but about three million are facing a coverage gap.

DELRAY BEACH, Fla. - Fretful and 87, Anne Syrop says that so far, the new Medicare prescription-drug program has made her dozen daily medications more affordable.

"But what's going to come up I don't know," she adds.

Like an estimated three million or more seniors, Syrop faces a coverage gap - a doughnut hole, in Washington speak - that represents a personal financial strain as well as a political issue of uncertain impact.

"The doughnut hole is a problem, and it's going to continue to develop as a problem," says Ron Klein, a Democrat trying to exploit the issue in his race against veteran Rep. E. Clay Shaw Jr. along Florida's Atlantic Coast.

"trying to exploit the issue"

That, in a nutshell, is how the MSM spins Democrats' efforts to TELL THE TRUTH about Bush policies that HURT people. Dems tell the truth, they're 'exploiting an issue'. Repukes lie and make false promises, they're 'comforting people'.

:mad:

I hope you will join me in lodging against this spurious action.

the mess of using plan D and is still having troubles will go pug because they would be scared to death of *ss and co. getting their hands on social security and a national health plan.
