This Medicare prescription drug fiasco did not happen by accident. They intended for the sick and poor seniors to be unable to either understand the scheme or pay the increase.
If the weakest among us die, there will be less money "wasted" on them and their benefits. This is the repug "cost-cutting" attitude. It was premeditated.
I had to help my mom navigate this plan and it was a nightmare. I can only imagine what those elderly who don't have families to help them must be going thru.
