Calculating
Through the Medicare Maze
FREE COST
ANALYSIS CALCULATOR
As
a Medicare-eligible American you are probably aware that enrollment for
Medicare's Prescription Drug Plan has begun and with it has come a
confusing tangle of regulations, choices, endless number of plans, special
provisions, penalties and warnings. On our website, we
have simplified the gruesome details into a one step Free Cost
Analysis Calculator to help you compare costs and see what will be most
beneficial for you.
It
is starting to become increasingly evident that the Medicare Drug Plan
does not address the fact that drug prices are outrageously high to begin
with. It is more than obvious that large multinational drug companies are
the ones who will really benefit, not
America
's
seniors.
More Savings In
Canada
Purchasing
your medications from
Canada
would be an ideal
safety-net for the areas that the Medicare coverage is lacking or
non-existent.
In
the research conducted by Medisave we
understand there is a great deal of complexity and confusion surrounding
Medicare Plan D. The best advice we can give you is to not rush into
anything as you have until May 15, 2006 to sign up for a plan - but first
carefully consider whether signing up is to your
advantage.
Let
us know how you feel about the Medicare Prescription Drug Plan. Do you
think it will benefit your situation or are you just as confused as most
of
America
's elderly are? You can
email us your thoughts at CustomerService@Medisave.ca.

drink a lot of water and other fluids.

Your
Comments
"I wish to tell you that I
am very satisfied with your service. I do feel that the Medicare
Part 'D' will not be of any benefit to our family. It seems to me
that this is much too involved for most of the Seniors here. It is
too hard for them to understand. I spent one whole afternoon trying
to crunch out the numbers and I didn't feel that it was good for us.
This only one plan I have looked at and there are many, many to choose
from. Keep up the good work. We need you."

"Just want to thank you for your rapid response in
filling my prescriptions and I always appreciate the personal contact
when you call to confirm the order."

"Hi, I have been ordering medicine
from Medisave & have been completely satisfied. They are even kind
enough to call & tell me that my medicine is now in generic form which
still even saves me more money. I recently had a small problem &
someone was right there to straighten everything out. Everyone is
extremely helpful."
