I tend to agree with the latter half of your comment, but I'm a little perplexed by the initial discussion. Do you advocate that seniors be given open/cost free access to all health services with no cost-sharing component? Studies have shown that seniors don't typically stop taking necessary medications under the current system, despite the cost being quite burdensome to them.

I don't advocate for eliminating any cost sharing component, merely the severity of the cost sharing with relation to Medicare Part D. It is a convoluted system that usually requires looking into Medigap policies, etc., and I think there is much room for improvement. Perhaps studies have shown that the majority of seniors do not stop taking their meds despite the high cost, although i had read that it is a potential and not uncommon outcome. Regardless, it is quite burdensome.
