Picking the best Medicare drug discount card is tougher than ever - US News and World Report
The wallets of senior citizens sure have been getting fatter over the past few years-but not from extra cash. Instead, they've been bulked up by the host of prescription discount cards sponsored by groups ranging from AARP to drugstore chains. The most recent entrant into the discount derby? Uncle Sam. As part of the Medicare bill passed last year, the government in May began offering a discount-card program aimed at the more than 13 million Medicare beneficiaries without prescription drug coverage. It's intended as a stopgap measure to give some relief before the more extensive-and more complex-Medicare drug benefit kicks in at the beginning of 2006. Four months after launch, the program is garnering mixed reviews. And while there is still no quick rule of thumb for deciding whether the federally endorsed discount card is the best choice, some trends have emerged that make it easier to sort out.
