Bush's foul-up of the Medicare-Medicaid prescription plan continues with many yucks as Medicare Erroneously Pays Patients $50M . The "erroneous" payments were mailed last week with a second letter this week asking for the money back.
It also contained assurances that the first letter was erroneous in stating that recipients would no longer have their premiums deducted from their SS checks. Not true, says letter #2!
Mark McClellan who "oversees" (perhaps he needs new glasses?) the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services, says the letter recipients need to know TWO things:
1. send the money back
2. their Rx drug coverage will continue..."there's no disruption at all," says Mark markedly.
Now Someone had to write the mistaken letter in the first place, so how did those words get put together in such "erroneous" sentences...by GOP gremlins?
Officials caught the 'glitch' AFTER the letters were sent out last week and it makes you wonder--are they trying to sabotage by incompetence again? You know, like ineptly responding to a massive hurricane to further undermine FEMA --after you've glopped it in with HoSec, poorly staffed it, and underfunded what you don't want to fund in the first place? "The private sector did a better job" was one of the lessons we were meant to embrace after Katrina.
This week's letter has apologies, of course, but what under par senior will understand without much confusion and distress?
And the cat toys with mouse once again as the DISRUPTION of our nation continues--personified by George W. Bush, and aided in his reformist activities by the "superb" job of Mark McClellan.

UPDATE 3:51 pm: Be sure to check out Ed Bremson's new song lyrics for Get the Hell Out of Iraq, over at The Tao of Politics where you can read the lyrics or listen to them (Aug 22)...Ed expresses what the majority of Americans and the rest of the world feel on this issue.
Thanks, Ed!
