Q: When does Medicare actually start covering prescription drugs and how does it work?
A: Millions of Americans could have their health care and finances improved with assistance from the new Medicare prescription drug program starting January 2006 but few people understand how this program works. With initial enrollment date less than four months away, a number of large organizations including AARP, drug store chains, Wal-Mart and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce have joined forces to provide public education about the program. Benefits are scheduled to begin January 2006. For more information, see www.MedicareToday.org.
