In
Most Cases, Medicare is Still A Distant Second to the Safe, Reliable
Canadian Alternative, Says DoctorSolve
DoctorSolve
urges bewildered seniors not to succumb to Medicare pressure tactics,
and to “look before you leap.”
Vancouver,
B.C. (PRWEB) September 27, 2005 -- American seniors are being pressured
into signing up for Plan D, the new Medicare drug coverage plan, which
starts on January 1, 2006. Inundated with propaganda about a plan
that is complex and convoluted, many may end up committing without
realizing the consequences.
“Medicare
is a moving target with more questions than answers,” says Dr. Paul
Zickler of DoctorSolve (www.doctorsolve.com), a Canadian online pharmacy
service. “Patients need to see it for what it really is-a plan wrought
with confusion and structured with unreasonable fees and deductibles,
with the only assurances being coverage that can change with little
notice, rising costs and inevitable insurance battles.”
Many
feel that the Medicare program is deeply flawed and potentially grossly
underfunded. Dr. John E. Wennberg, MD, MPH, Director for the Center
for Evaluative Clinical Sciences at Dartmouth Medical School
believes that “Medicare is headed for a trillion-dollar train wreck.”
Even
before Medicare officially kicks in, it's obvious that this is an
expensive route for beneficiaries with potholes along the way. After
the beneficiary pays a $250 deductible, Medicare pays three-fourths
of the next
$2,250 in drug costs. There is no benefit between $2,250 and $5,100-a
gap in coverage of $2,850. Only after the beneficiary has spent $3,600
on drugs out-of-pocket, including deductible and co-pays, does the
government pay all but 5 percent of additional drug costs.
Those
patients who have done the math, and are comfortable ordering their
medications from Canadian pharmacy services say they will continue
to do so. They know exactly what their medications will cost them,
and in many cases it's on average 40% less than in the U.S.
“In addition
to affordable medications, patients of DoctorSolve online pharmacy
services are offered our exclusive Safety Service Guarantee, personal
nurse consultations, reorder reminders, naturopathic tips, a
monthly newsletter with health tips and more,” states Zickler.
Dr. Zickler
urges DoctorSolve patients to think long and hard before committing
to Medicare, and regretting it later. “With drug lists that can change
at whim, penalties imposed for late sign-up, major gaps in coverage,
and rising costs to beneficiaries, the only good the Medicare plan
is serving is the good of the drug companies.”
“Patients
who order from Canadian pharmacy services know they can always count
on getting reliable, affordable medications from a country that has
some of the strictest pharmaceutical standards in the world.
There
are no premiums, no deductibles, no unexpected surprises, no hassles
with HMOs, and no regrets!" DoctorSolve, a Canadian Internet-based
