Medicare Part D glitches continue

Problems continued with the implementation of Medicare Part D, as more states said they are experiencing difficulties with the new prescription drug benefit's roll-out. At least six states are now offering recipients aid to help them to purchase needed medicines and others appear ready to launch similar programs. In Massachusetts, there were reports of patients being turned away from pharmacies, despite a pledge by state officials to cover the costs of all prescriptions.
