On the recordMay 10, 2006
to date, more than 30 million Americans have signed up for the new Medicare prescription drug program, and that is because it saves them money. An AARP survey found that almost 80 percent of those enrolled in the Medicare prescription drug plan say that the new benefit is meeting or exceeding their expectations. Seniors don't have to choose between prescription drugs and paying their bills or putting food on the table anymore. And there is still time for seniors who are not currently enrolled to sign up for the program. They have until May 15th to sign up without any penalty. They simply have to call 1-800-MEDICARE and ask about drug savings, and there will be someone there who will help to walk them through the process. Again, the deadline to sign up with no penalties is May 15, so call and save today. ____________________
