I am 48 years old and disabled. I have been thrown into this cruel and complex Medicare Part Plan. I am speaking out on behalf of all disabled as we are not mentioned by any media as having to loose our Medicaid Drug coverage and sign on to a Medicare plan. We also will not have a lot of our very vital life-saving medications paid for and now have premiums and co-pays.

I would like the fact to be known that all disabled Americans were given only 6 weeks from November 15, 2005 to December 31, 2005 to get enrolled into a plan, as our Medicaid prescription coverage would not exist after December 31, 2005.

I have no idea how we are going to survive but I do know that I am tired of all of the focus being on just the elderly and forgetting the disabled that are being "tossed" into this horrible drug plan. Please, at least give the American disabled a mention?

Sincerely,
Dreama Runyon, Wellington
