Medicare Disaster

Following up on the post praising (frightening?) Paul Krugman's analysis of the far less than it's cracked up to be American Health Care System:

But a bit farther down came a warning that if deBottari gives the new Medicare program, called Part D, a try, "your Boeing prescription drug coverage is part of your Boeing retiree medical plan. If you cancel your Boeing prescription drug coverage, your Boeing medical coverage also will be canceled."

Many other retirees fortunate enough to already have drug coverage are receiving similar warnings from their former employers as the new Medicare drug benefit approaches.

Sweet huh?

Good plan.
