Not to belabor this debate, and it is good we are talking about it because the American people need to hear it, but over that amount of money you are talking about, we would still have a $25 copay, the $150 deductible, and then no cap at all on coverage. If you were at that income level, you would probably pay, at most, $175 per month for the whole year or $175 per month per year.

My understanding is that in order to be a part of the Vice President's plan of receiving prescription drug coverage, one must pay a $50 premium per month, or new tax, in order to be involved in the system. You have one choice, one chance…
It would cover 100 percent of everything over a $25 copay and a $150-a-month deductible for those who are in that income level or above.
