Kaiser Health News (12/1, Galewitz) reports, "Seniors have until the end of the year to switch Medicare drug plans to get a better deal. But many will pass up the chance to save hundreds of dollars a year in prescription costs." According to Kaiser, this is because, "with dozens of drug plans on the market, many seniors get overwhelmed at the prospect of changing plans, even if a different one would better suit their needs and lower their costs." According to CMS, "only an average of 7 percent of the 17 million seniors on Medicare drug plans switch plans each year. ... Experts on Medicare say this suggests that millions of beneficiaries could be paying more than they should for their drug coverage."
