The GOP’s Medicare Part D Prescription Drug plan has been nothing short of a disaster since it took effect January 1. Seniors have found themselves stunned by the new prescription drug law.

In its first weeks, six million poor, elderly and disabled patients were denied prescription drug coverage when the Bush Administration botched their conversion from Medicaid to Medicare, "seniors have found themselves stunned and confused". More than 20 states provided emergency coverage to their low-income seniors. Five states sued the federal government to recover their costs. Seniors, their caregivers and their pharmacists cannot get prescriptions filled quickly. Some cannot get them filled at all.

Rather than helping seniors, Part D has been a massive giveaway to HMO’s and drug companies. We can’t idly sit by and watch our parents continue to be "mugged" by Republican leaders and corporate America.

Tell your Congressman how disgusted you have been by the start of this program.
