Re: I can't believe I am even asking BUT......

Liz, I suppose it isn't the politicians fault that drugs that cost me $10 a
month BEFORE the Great Medicare Rx are now costing me $76 a month! No,
don't blame the politicians. We haven't been able to figure out what my
husband's will cost, because nobody can give us the figures that his drugs
are costing each month--not the pharmacy, not our insurance company. We'd
like to know when we are going to hit the "donut hole" so we can be
prepared, and nobody can give us a clue.

That is Bush's great plan that the congress passed, but it's not their
fault!
