Their idea of “savings” is instead of the government spending say 500 billion dollars, with this legislation they’re only spending 300 billion. They “saved” two hundred billion. Fail.
I am against Social Security and Medicare although I participate in both. I think neither should ever have come into existence. As far as Bush is concerned, he introduced private enterprise into Medicare D putting the big drug companies and their retailers in competition for the business, so prices went down.
I pay over $30.00/month for Part D and in the 8 years I have had it my total drug purchases have been less than $20.00. So, I have spent $2,880 for less than a $20 benefit. Not a good investment.
