On the recordJune 3, 2003
They are already talking about a prescription drug plan that forces seniors, if they want any kind of prescription drug plan, to go into an HMO or some kind of private organization. It is a measly benefit even if you opt to do that. The reason is because they do not have the money because of all these tax cuts.
