Bush Touts Medicare Drug Plan!

[gizmo1979]

The man has no shame!This is the biggest fiasco since Katrina.He failed to mention the fact that 100's of thousands of people didn't get their benefits at all or that it's so confusing that many seniors simply give up trying.How can he get up there and tout this piece of crap legislation?

2. Two elderly people I know are besides themselves with grief

over this new Part D..One lady had to give up doctors who served her for 20-25 yrs. They weren't on the plan (doctors) also the women now pay higher deductibles. One more thing pharmacies have raised the prices of many meds,lol talk about "snakeoil"...
Several points to notice about the bush crime family..
1. Pentagon was given a gift (WAR)
2. Big Oil was given a gift (Iraq,higher prices)
3. Drug Companies were given a gift( new drug plan,higher profits and legislation protecting them from class
action lawsuits)
4. On deck, Wall Street, a gift of Social Security money..OURS to help shore up the pensions of S&P..but we wont allow gambling of our retirement funds (at least I wont)..

3. I was at a Feingold listening session

and I would say 70% of the questions were how to get rid of this crappy program.

4. yes, I hear you and my elderly friends want to go back to

what was best for them, the old way worked well..Should I email Feingold ? These elderly people need immediate help not tons of paperwork and empty promises.

7. Couldn't hurt.

I know he's on our side.It might move up his agenda though.

10. anything to encourage a new look at this bad new drug bill is

worth a try. Hell I spent a week trying hard to defeat alito but to no avail maybe the drug bill could inspire some in Congress to see where it failed..Thanks..
Emails to Feingold and since I live in NYC I'll send one to each Senator..

6. They (inadvertently) signed up for a

Medicare Advantage plan.

A standard Part D plan (which is what they want) does not affect your Medicare Part A (hospital) and Part B (outpatient/physician) converage. They can change for free until May 1.

8. What?

I hope you're joking?I'm confused all ready.

5. Let Fuck Stick keep running his blow-hole.

So everyone can fully appreciate how much of a delusional ass he is, and can see exactly what they can expect from the Republicans.

9. I can't believe he even

brought it up.Why would they want this mess in the news?It had been quiet and a back issue.
