LETTERS

"In his pessimistic assessment of the Medicare prescription drug program, James Ridgeway questions whether enrollment in Part D is worthwhile. For most seniors the answer is a resounding "yes." Seniors are saving, on average, $1,200 a year on their medicine, and Part D is costing considerably less than previously estimated due to effective competition. Most importantly, more than 39 million Medicare patients—90 percent of all potential beneficiaries—now have comprehensive drug coverage."
