American citizens over the age of 65 that receive prescription drug medication to maintain their health should consider Medicare Part D prescription drug plan coverage. Health Care reform attempts to reduce the cost further for Americans. Plans can vary and the cost of each plan is dependent on one’s specific health and financial situation. Drug plan coverage can be obtained through a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan known as Part D or a Medicare Advantage Plan that is Part D combined with portions of Part A and Part B plans. A Medicare Advantage Plan is one that is tailored to fit individual needs and is on average a health plan combined with prescription drug coverage. Health Care reform these days often relates to the cost of health care and prescription drugs for Americans, and the cost to the government. Recent reform on Capitol Hill relates to the reduction of prescription drug costs for Americans that qualify for Medicare, but are poor enough to qualify for Medicaid. A recent amendment would have allowed Americans who get their drugs through Medicare to pay Medicaid prices. The amendment was voted down. Right now it appears to be a political battle between Democrats and Republicans, with one party less in favor of bipartisan work than the other. Author: Genny Germano
