This is a complete cop-out as I’m still hacking away on my Hillarycare piece, and haven’t even read this, but the article in Health Affairs called Riding The Rollercoaster: The Ups And Downs In Out-Of-Pocket Spending Under The Standard Medicare Drug Benefit looks pretty interesting and I think suggests that we have an ongoing spending problem emerging in Part D even before it hits!.

Does one of my contributors care to read it and review? (email me for a Health Affairs pw if you haven’t got one)
