Anita Dunn is on the round table on This Week. When asked about the health care bill she decided to use the Medicare-D drug supplemental as an example by saying “well people didn’t like that at first either”.

Guess what Anita? They still don’t like it! The Medicare-D program has left seniors with these new evils like doughnut holes, where they have to pay out hundreds and thousands out of pocket. They are also subject to predatory insurance salesmen now, pushing them to buy their program only to find that later on in the year they change the formulary, removing needed drugs from the list of what they will buy, and now that person is stuck with them until the end of the year.

And let’s not forget the implementation of the program. Thousands of seniors around the country were unable to get their medication. It was a cluster fuck to put it nicely.

No Anita – don’t use Medicare-D as an example to push for healthcare reform. You are going to do far more harm than good.
