Effective Jan 1, 2006 a new Medicare Drug benefit will be going into effect for all those currently covered by Medicare. An explanation of the benefit is available from the Kaiser Family Foundation and can be viewed by clicking HERE at http://www.kff.org/medicare/rxdrugdebate.cfm. They also provide an online calculator that allows you to estimate your yearly expenses under the plan at http://www.kff.org/medicare/rxdrugscalculator.cfm.
