“With tens of thousands of people unable to get medicines promised by Medicare, the Bush administration has told insurers that they must provide a 30-day supply of any drug that a beneficiary was previously taking, and it said that poor people must not be charged more than $5 for a covered drug.” (New York Times, Monday)
Oh what a tangle they create,
When first they seek to legislate.
(Apologies to Sir Walter Scott.)
