She told me that the prescription drug “plan” implemented in the “reform” legislation was so complex, that she spends much of her time trying to decipher the rules to be able to explain it to patients, most of whom have very little hope of understanding it without help. When you are dealing with a population that has limited resources, low mobility, and a hard time working the remote control, you know beforehand that most will not be able to navigate a spider web of legalistic red tape in order to receive benefits they paid for during a life time of paying taxes. Easy pickings. My wife is a social worker currently working with potential elderly home health patients.
