covered extent hard plan sure
This is a new plan and to some extent it's all guesswork. We've been working very hard to make sure we've covered all the contingencies.
extra money people reason signing
Signing up for Part D will put in extra money in their pocket. It's one important reason we're urging people to sign up by the deadline.
line people sure thousands
We've put thousands of people on the 800 line to make sure people don't have to wait.
majority pattern people signed vast
The vast majority of people who have signed up say they've had no problems. If there's a pattern of problems, that's news. But that's not what the majority of people are experiencing.
despite encouraged negative people realizing value
We're actually very encouraged by the enrollment figures. They show that people are realizing that there's value to this plan, and they're enrolling, despite a lot of negative press.
coverage decided voluntary waiting
They may be waiting for a shakeout; they may be waiting for more information. Or they have decided they don't want coverage - it is a voluntary program, after all.
lose people plan tailored walk
They will not walk out of the pharmacy without their prescription. The plan has been tailored so these people do not lose coverage.
