Despite what you hear, seniors are pretty happy with the plan:
This year, 87% of those enrolled in a plan said they were very satisfied or somewhat satisfied, up from 75% last year. And 71% said they’re not likely to switch plans next year (private companies offer different flavors of coverage).

Kevin isn’t this a government program that works?
It does work. However, pay attention to 2008 and everything year onwards. We think the SGR is a problem. The drug coverage gap grows in 2008 to a point where many seniors will now fall into teh gap. So much for a good program.
