You See, Enrolling Didn't Hurt A Bit!

Lo and behold, we’re finally seeing the emergence of a cohort that has something nice to say about the new Medicare prescription-drug benefit. A study by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press conveys the pertinent data. Among seniors who’ve managed to finish enrolling in the program, 64 percent said they found the process easy—doubling the 32 percent who found it difficult. Whether despite or because of the many drug plans from which they could choose, 57 percent said they’re “very confident” and 22 percent “somewhat confident” they picked the one that’s best for them.
