Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage is a new approach to social
insurance benefits, with beneficiaries voluntarily enrolling, paying premiums
and requiring beneficiaries to choose among a vast array of plans and
combinations of plans. For example, in California more than 140 choices
are being offered. In every state advocacy and counseling groups have
been inundated with calls for help from people uncertain about whether
to enroll in Part D and which plan to select. This session examines how
enrollment in Part D is working and how the program could be improved.
