Medicare ’doughnut hole’ looms for drug customers

Want to know what to expect with your Medicare part D prescription drug plan this year? The "donut" hole is coming up. I know because I've disappeared into the hole as early as the middle of the year. I'm still not clear how it will work this year, but this article offers some help. When I read that "Companies that make brand-name pharmaceuticals are providing 50-percent discounts," I still want to know, what companies and what drugs?

Need advice for Medicare part D for 2011? This is the prescription drug plan with the infamous coverage gap, i.e., donut hole. I'm in the donut hole now and just paid $113 for a prescription. Not too happy.
