I'm very intersted in your wifes plan. I need knowledge. I just put a call into the Dept. of Public Aid so that I could be helped to understand.
But I really do think that the ball was dropped in the formation of this Plan D. There is no help out there for our elderly, or should I say very little. I honestly think this poor lady thinks that divorce is an option.
What s even more sad is that I get tons of people in my office who need med assistance who have been denied from the state dept because they don't have a child.
Now what does that promote?

Bro, I would not vote for this man running on his record again. I hold no small distain for BIG Government. I know that the social security system is bankrupt and that means millions who have depended only on BIG Government to support them are headed to be in the same peril as this woman.
The donut is not understood by many seniors. In traditional medical plans you pay a deductible- 100 % sometimes up to a certain dollar amount, then you pay a percentage to another dollar amount. You then have 100% coverage after paying a certain capped amount. My deductible now is $3000. My max out of pocket is $3600.
In Medicare, you pay a 120 deductible. You do not pay again for the first $2500. You then pay 100% of the amount above $2501 and up to $5000 where again the plan pays again. Supplements pay this "donut hole gap" and sometimes differ from company to company and state to state.
My inlaws I believe have theirs through AARP. They had to research many plans to find one with "donut hole" coverage.
