We needed to get the letters out now, so people know they will either need to take action come Nov. 15 or not take any action and be automatically enrolled in a plan.
With millions of people in the program, you are going to see all sorts of different scenarios. This (situation) is unfortunate.

The people who don't take any action at all could actually find themselves just covered by Medicare or Medicaid ... so it's real important that they look at the information they received in the mail.
There is nothing in the Medicare law that prohibits drug companies from providing these sorts of programs to people with Medicare.
You should never give out any personal information to people you don't know.
