“I thank you for that, and you brought up the issue of your mother, and that is a very important thing for us seniors to be thinking about because many of our seniors did buy the supplements that you are talking about that gave them some health care coverage as well as their prescription drug benefits. My daughter's mother-in-law has one of those, and she is paying over $300 a month for it. So we went online, and we looked at what can she get today under this new program. So I think it is important that people like your mother do not think that because they have one of those plans from before that that is good enough, that they can go on today and save an incredible amount of money. You can go into plans today that give you the health care coverage, as well as the prescription drug coverage, but there, again, with that reduced premium, my daughter's mother-in-law is going to save over $100 a month by going in and revamping that policy. I know a lot of our seniors got kind of hung up on the thought of deductibles and things like that, but there again, you need to understand that when Medicare set the plan, when Congress passed the plan, they put a cap on what a deductible could be of $250, and many of these plans have no deductibles. We keep talking about a donut hole where there will be a gap in coverage at a certain point, and what I say in my meetings is, if you did not have any coverage, you have been living in a black hole.…”
