Robert Hayes Help Quotations

How many applied is kind of irrelevant compared to how many will get assistance. If they reported 3 million people enrolled in the extra help today, we would be opening the champagne bottles.

We see it as a searing indictment of this convoluted drug program. People are faced with a bewildering array of for-profit insurance plans. These plans are seen as so complex and unreliable that many people in great need of help are staying on the sidelines.

The Bush Administration's inflation of enrollment numbers disguises the problems that plague this privately-administered benefit. Deception will do nothing to help older and disabled get the medications they so desperately need.
