Kaiser Health News:

One of the immediate effects of the new health care legislation, as it effects Medicare and reported by Kaiser Health News is as follows:

Next year, their cost of drugs in the coverage gap will go down by 50 percent. Preventive care, such as some types of cancer screening, will be free of co-payments or deductibles starting in 2010.
