The premiums plus the money I pay for my three blood pressure prescriptions are costing me more than if I didn't have Part D. However, we're threatened with being penalized for enrolling later on when we might actually benefit from it. Until then, we're just throwing more of our hard-earned money down the drain with the rest of the money that's being taken from us under the guise of 'helping' us. As our preseciption drug costs go up, the money that we get back from Part D goes down and the premiums increase. I wish someone could explain this to the citizens.
