Regrettably, to pass a Medicare drug insurance act through congress, Democrats had to accept Republicans' insisted Medicare prescription drug insurance under the auspices, but not directly administrated by the government.
That's why I, as do many others, have little or no problems with Medicare, other than the cost of our prescription drugs.
