Seniors in Part D'mostly happy'
The Kaiser Family Foundation released details of a tracking poll that found that most seniors enrolled in Medicare drug plans are satisfied with their coverage. Eight out of 10 reported no difficulties having prescriptions filled. A companion report "Voices of Beneficiaries: Early Experiences with the Medicare Drug Benefit" provides personal perspectives on the benefit. The new prescription drug benefit continues to receive extensive media coverage, as the May 15 enrollment deadline approaches.
