Eliminate the Doughnut Hole Now!!

Join Americans United For Change and our state partners to send Congress a Strong Message:

Eliminate the Doughnut Hole Now!!

Over 6 million Americans enrolled in Part D will fall into this coverage gap. Once the total medication costs have exceeded $2,250, senior citizens and disabled persons must pay for their medicine completely out of pocket, while still paying a monthly premium. Individuals can only escape the doughnut hole if their total drug costs exceed $5,100. Only Congress can fix this misguided and harmful provision.

The embattled prescription drug law known as Part D has been called costly, confusing and corrupt because it was written to benefit drug and insurance companies more than seniors.  We are urging Congress and President Bush to fix Part D to provide a drug benefit that is simple, affordable and guaranteed.
 
Join us for the release of the new study by the Institute for America’s Future which shows that thousands of senior and disabled Americans face dire health consequences as they fall into the Part D ‘Donut Hole’ Trap.
