Medicare Drug Benefits
This is the Medicare drug plan pushed through Congress by George Bush. It is absurd, to say the least. It is expensive, wasteful, and unfair. Can anyone explain the rationale behind such ignorance? Keep in mind: the man who is most responsible for this mess is the same man that some think is going to save the Social Security System.
