when those with Medicare try to find a corporate privatized medication insurance 'plan' for the 'government' Medicare Rx program

I'm sure Scott McClellan's brother, Mark, did all kinds of damage while heading Medicare.

and, as SoCalDem posted in #2, Big Pharma probably benefits from this knowledge, too. Corporations have a closer relationship with 'our' government than 'we' do. I wrote UnitedHealth, and I got a reply back from Social Security, and wasn't told my letter was being forwarded.

Plan formularies (what meds an insurance company covers) vary; and, to see which plans capture all or most of one's meds ... one plugs the list of meds into 'the system' to find possible plans ... the info can be provided either online or on a phone to an outsourced privatized "Medicare" employee (who is their employer???) ....

or pharmacies are turning over their customers' records
