Obama Healthcare Reforms Fall Short, but Betterthanmedicare.com Closes the
'Donut Hole'
An alternative to Medicare, new prescription resource beats "The Obama Plan"
prices



WINNIPEG, Manitoba, Nov. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- With his proposed health care
reform plan, President Barack Obama has set his sights on cutting name-brand
prescription drug costs by 50 percent for Medicare patients who fall into the
"Part D" coverage gap, universally known as the "donut hole." Plan advocates
rave about the potential cost-cutting and feel it's a promising start to
health care reform. Yet some of the most powerful lobbyists want a revised
program that completely eliminates the donut hole, which prevents Medicare
coverage between two points of spending. This approach would cost the federal
government $134 billion over a 10-year period. And while the various sides
debate the details, most people don't realize that a solution already exists.
There's an option for even greater savings that's gap-free and available right
now. 

Betterthanmedicare.com (http://www.betterthanmedicare.com) is an alternative
to Medicare - and high drug prices in general - and offers discounts of up to
85 percent off many top brands. Leveraging the power of its relationships with
leading pharmaceutical suppliers, Betterthanmedicare.com passes these low
prices directly to consumers, enabling them to save thousands of dollars
annually. In fact, these savings are available to everyone, not just patients
over 65 or on Medicare. There are no restrictions on who qualifies to enroll
in Betterthanmedicare.com. It's all-inclusive, with no gimmicks or coverage
gaps.  

A look at one customer, Mary, provides the perfect illustration of how
Betterthanmedicare.com's program works. This particular patient takes one
75-mg Plavix tablet daily, one 20-mg Lipitor tablet and a 200-mg capsule of
Celebrex. Regular retail costs would run her $4,860 annually, but she's on
Medicare, so she spends $3,056 for out-of-pocket prescription expenses. With
Betterthanmedicare.com, however, Mary spends only $860 a year - $2,200 less
than her Medicare rates. Saving 61 percent a year with Betterthanmedicare.com,
Mary doesn't fall into the infamous "donut hole" and keeps more money in
pocket than could ever be possible through any plan now in debate on Capitol
Hill. 

What makes Betterthanmedicare.com better than mail-order pharmacies is its
ability to beat Medicare prices. Betterthanmedicare.com's customer service
agents are available toll-free to answer questions and enroll patients. The
website includes pages dedicated to frequently asked questions, prescription
drug costs and comparisons, and real examples of how Betterthanmedicare.com is
truly better than Medicare.

Betterthanmedicare.com is offering a special coupon for $10 off prescription
orders, good now through December 2009. Download the coupon here:
