Is Medicare Part D health care reform working? Are prescription drugs cheaper? Health care change is scaring many people and with election time looming, a change could be on the horizon and might not be just for health care. Democrats are slipping in the polls because many see them as the catalyst of health care change, and many are worried that the health care reform may affect them in a negative way. Also, recent polls reveal that many Americans feel that their personal finances have worsened in the past year and over half of those surveyed feel that the country in general is moving in the wrong direction. A majority of Americans do not appear happy with Congress right now and the change may be coming. That being said, Medicare Part D costs have come in 43% lower than forecast. Medicare Part D has been a focus in the health care reform debate because it allocated money to pay for medical needs like pharmaceuticals for people in need. Medicare and Medicaid services now estimates the cost of Medicare Part D between 2004 and 2013 to be over 40% lower than what was originally expected. The reduction in cost is hailed by many and the Pharmaceutical Care Management Association states that this information is proof that the tools that are being put in place to establish health care reform are working. I guess we will see come election time if the public agrees. Author: Stephen Johnson
