Republican Drug plan put seniors in harms way

Drug plan leaves some in the hole: "Mildred Lindley is stuck in a hole, the doughnut hole -- 'right in the middle of it,' she says -- that comes with Medicare's new prescription drug benefit.
Just four months into the program, Lindley has hit the point in her coverage where she has to pick up, at least for a few months, the full cost of the medication she takes to keep her bone marrow cancer in remission. As a result, her two-month supply of Thalomid shot up from $40 to a whopping $1,300."

Right on the face of it, this is a complete failure of Republican ethics and morality. How they ever hope to stay out of hell is beyond comprehension. Spit on them when you can.
