"I've been watching a little television the last few weeks as I waited for
my broken leg to mend. Boredom will drive even me to amazing things
sometimes, but it has been educational as well as sickening. I hadn't
watched TV for about 5 years before, and it may be a lot longer before I
look at it again. The most striking thing I've seen is the constant
bombardment of prescription drug (and other health related) advertising and
the propaganda pieces for the various government programs like the new
Medicare drug welfare plans. The first tries to convince people to take
pills they most likely don't need - at real risk to their health - and the
second shows them how they can get someone else to pay for it."

New York state intervenes to provide prescription drugs to seniors
By CANDICE CHOI
Associated Press Writer
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) -- Gov. George Pataki on Friday enacted an emergency measure to help senior citizens get access to life-saving prescription drugs, joining a growing number of states across the country as confusion about the new Medicare drug plan persists.
Pataki directed the state Health Department to suspend current Medicaid rules for the next seven days and pay for prescription drugs for seniors eligible for both Medicaid and Medicare.
...
The Medicare prescription drug coverage reform that was supposed to take care of the problems of the elderly has instead thrown many for a loop. State after state has had to declare a health emergency and spend millions of unbudgeted dollars to make up for the chaos since the January 1 launch.
The AP article quotes Senator Clinton:
"It's a bad policy poorly implemented," she said. "They seem to have been unready for the onslaught of questions that have come their way."
(Not that her plans were any better.)
