RE: Medicare Drug Information Hotline Full Of Mistakes

"The Government-Accountability-Office (GAO) had its people pose as senior citizens and placed 500 calls to 1-800-MEDICARE hotline and asked for information. Over 30% of the information they received was the wrong. The most important question ‘Which drug plan costs the least for my specific needs' was answered incorrectly 59% of the time...... If energetic GAO employees have problems trying to sign up, one wonders what it must be like for senior citizens. How many of those who did manage to sign up got the best price for their needs?"

This is exactly my fear in the new Medicaree plan, the new plan states that all pharmaceuticals are going to be given at a cheaper rate to distract citizens from buying online with Canadian pharmacies. This goes to show that some of the seniors that will be effected by the new medicare may not even have the choice of getting the right plan for them.

Just some food for thought!
