Uggabugga Has the Calculations and the Graphs on Medicare Drug Bill


If your drug costs are less than $830/yr ($70/mo), you are paying more than you would if there were no drug plan.

Our best summary of the program is that is appears to be "half a loaf" (actually, more like 40% of a loaf). And that may not be good enough. We don't know what the general situation is for seniors, but we suspect that paying up to $3,500 for drugs (premiums, deductables, patient-share) may well be beyond the budgets of those who are not poor, but not well-off either.

You need to go down for the graphs. He didn't have tbe $25 update on this, they have lowered the deductable to $250.

Who says Saddam had connections with al Qaeda? Bush 11 times in 6 days while campaigning for GOP candidates.

Who said Saddam had Weapons of Mass Destruction? Bush 14 times in 22 days while campaigning for the GOP.
