STARTING MONDAY, SENIORS CAN SIGN UP FOR DRUG DISCOUNT CARDS... THE FIRST
PHASE OF MEDICARE`S NEW PRESCRIPTION DRUG BENEFIT.
ADVOCATES FOR THE ELDERLY SAY IT`S THE MOST COMPLICATED LAW THEY`VE
EVER SEEN-- AND FOR THE 10 MILLION SENIORS WHO ARE SUPPOSED TO BENEFIT.
ONE PROBLEM-- ONCE YOU`VE CHOSEN ONE OF A DOZEN CARDS, YOU CAN`T CHANGE PLANS FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR... BUT DRUG COMPANIES CAN CHANGE COVERAGE AND PRICES EVERY WEEK.
MEDICARE PROMISES TO PENALIZE COMPANIES THAT DO SO.
