Screw the seniors of the blue states

Long before dubya's disasterous "part D" degradation of Medicare, Wisconsin had a working plan to help seniors pay for necessary medications. WI's SeniorCare saved seniors money, and come wrapped in the intentional confusion of the "part D" debacle. Drug companies still made money, the state provided a valuable service for less cost of dubya's plan, and seniors actually benefited from the plan.

In better times, you might think that the federal government might want to look at how a state succeeded in better serving their citizens and learn from the experience. But this is the age of the neo-con, and the GOP is not about to learn from the successes of a blue state. Instead, the dubya administration has decided to force Wisconsin to terminate this highly successful and helpful program, and force the state government to subject their citizens to the "part D" program which is designed to maximize profits for the major drug companies.
