If we are talking about the same cards then yes. In 2003 Bush signed a bill for a reform on Medicare in regards to assisting with prescription drugs for the elderly and disabled. Basically what is going to happen is that Medicare beneficiarys will be able to sign up with a pharmaceutical co. (drug plan) and pay a monthly premium of approx. $30. Their medications will be cheaper by 10 - 25% on this plan. The key is to find the right drug co with the cheapest quote which I found that
www.cms.org (Medicare site) will help people with. I am hoping to gather enough info to make this a simple explanation to all my geriatric patients. This is my understanding of this bill, but of course I am still researching and getting ready to plug it all into my research paper.
