Reply #68: My mother has a PACE card

[Lugnut]

PACE sent her a letter stating she had better coverage with PACE than any alternative plans offered in PA. She didn't have to sign up for the Medicare prescription plan and will not be penalized if she chooses to later on, which she won't. Her co-pay is $6 for generics and $9 for brand names.

I don't understand why those people even signed up for the Medicare plan unless they didn't understand that they weren't required to. This is the problem. This boondoggle is impossible to understand and is the biggest bad joke ever played on Medicare recipients.
