Love Diabetes: Federal funding for drugs and donuts

The dubious Medicare "donut hole" made headlines in the Wall Street Journal Health Blog. The "donut hole" is an odd stretch of coverage in Medicare between $2,400 and $3,850. In the "donut hole" prescriptions are not covered. Statistics show that last year 15% of Medicare beneficiaries stopped refilling prescriptions when they fell in the hole. In other words -- nearly 1 in 5 people felt their prescriptions were not worth the out-of-pocket expense. Are you one of these people?
