Catastrophic Coverage.

$4,000-----------------------$2,920-----------73%----$1,080

$5,000-----------------------$3,920-----------78%----$1,080

Final Thought:

Beginning January 1, 2006 your Medicare costs, as detailed in the

new plan passed by congress and the current administration, may

increase significantly.

We believe congress should have done better than this for our

seniors.

Remember, it's only after you spend $5,100 in Medicare-cover

healthcare costs that the catastrophic support starts. Even then,

you'd still be responsible for 5% of your costs.

As it stands, it will take about $800 of prescriptions in a year

just to break even! Then, your out-of-pocket expenses go down.

However they come right back up once you hit the donut hole,

where you pay 100% again.
