Medicare Drug Plan
Fox News has the story.
As do others, like the Mercury News. They're not going to have to worry about the May 15th deadline, and they're not going to have to worry about paying a penalty if they don't get enrolled right away," said Julie Goon, Medicare's director of outreach.
Oh and this I found while looking up more medicare stuff.
Bottom line, there are basically 37million people signed up or not in need of the Rx drug card. There are 5.7 million left. Of those, 1/2 are probably able to get subsidies and their deadline is extended. GREAT JOB Julie! That's a ton of people for all the bad press this program has gotten. Now lets see Congress take it away like they are talking about when the Democrats sweep the election in November. lol
Bush held fast, though he emphasized that poor seniors are exempt from the penalties the deadline brings for others.
He also defended the government's efforts during the signup period, particularly among the hard-to-reach low-income population. Julie Goon, director of Medicare outreach for the Department of Health and Human Services, estimated that half of the nearly 6 million people who have not yet enrolled fall in that category.
