Is a prescription plan right for everyone on medicare?

As seniors we have many decisions to consider. One such decision is whether or not to participate in "Part D" of medicare. It makes us a little crazy during "Open Enrollment"!

Only you know your health habits. Though we don't have a crystal ball we can pretty much know whether or not we are prone to prescriptions.

Questons you may want to ask yourself are:

1. What is the cost of my drugs if any?

2. Are they generic?

3. How much is the premium for an Rx plan?

4. What are the co-pays for each Rx?
