The consensus is Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage is complicated, confusing and poorly executed. We can fix it with your help. This is what needs to happen:

• Equalize Medicare benefits nationwide
• Simplify and improve the Medicare drug benefit
• Control prescription drug costs
• Make drug coverage a part of original Medicare
