The prescription drug plan that the Republicans pushed through is a miserable disaster. It is NOT a Medicare prescription drug program, it is a private-sector prescription drug program. The bulk of the cost of the program are payments to the pharmecuetical companies, health insurance companies, and corporate HMOs, in the form of Corporate Welfare. A minority of the cost underwrites prescription drugs for seniors. That’s why the coverage is so poor and so full of holes.
