Cheaper Drugs for the Elderly

A new medicare card began this week giving seniors a discount on their prescriptions. But early reports say for many older folks the confusion from choosing a card may not be worth the predicted savings. We?ll ask why the card?s so complicated and whether it will pay off. Mike's guests are Bernie Cameron, director of the Medication Bridge Program at the New Hampshire Foundation for Healthy Communities and Michael Freeman, executive vice president of the Healthcare Leadership Council. We'll also hear from Christine Lizotte, director of senior services at the Community Services Council of New Hampshire.
