WASHINGTON (AP) - At first, Ruth Goundry wasn't sure about participating in the new Medicare drug benefit. It was too confusing, she said. But in the end, she gave it a try. She's glad she did.
As the program's first year draws to a close, Goundry estimates that she saved about $150 a month on her five medicines, compared with what she was spending before Medicare Part D began.
"I would say I'm very impressed with the whole thing. I have no complaints," said Goundry, a resident of Chesapeake Beach, Md. "It's meant a tremendous savings. I know other people who are saved by it. I mean that. They don't hardly pay anything."
