The
Medicare Prescription Drug Insurance Plan is a voluntary plan that has been
developed to help
America
's seniors pay for high prescription drug costs. Medicare Part D is
available to seniors 65 and over with coverage beginning on January 1, 2006.
Enrollment begins on November 15, 2005 and lasts until May 15, 2006. Enrolling
past this date will result in higher costs.
The
Medicare plan does not address the fact that drug prices are outrageously high
to begin with. Participating in the plan comes at high annual costs and
confusing calculations, and therefore needs to be carefully analyzed and
assessed by seniors who are enrolling in the program.
In
most cases it may be more beneficial to order your medications from an Online
Canadian Pharmacy instead, as you can save anywhere from 30 - 70% on
prescription drugs. With the amount of plans being offered, it is difficult to
find a plan that covers all of the medications you are taking, therefore one
could enroll in a basic Medicare Part D Plan and order the rest of your
medications from an Online Canadian Pharmacy. Purchasing your medications from
Canada
would be an ideal safety-net for the areas that the Medicare
coverage is lacking or non-existent.
