Aetna squeezes old & disabled
October, 2010, Aetna sends out 1/2 inch thick mailings to millions of Medicare Drug Coverage customers and potential customers, all totally disabled and/or elderly, promoting $25 per month coverage for 2011 for preferred brand drugs during the coverage gap for their more expensive "premium" plan.
Of course, in the fine print the word "some" can be found.
So now, millions of these people and/or their children and/or their friends are paying 50% instead of $25.
For some drugs, this is over 10 times as much, i.e. over $250 per month per drug.
Class action lawyers, get in line.
I just started coordinating the effort and I'm hearing from some of you already.
Thanks Aetna for letting us know you're in the same sick group as J. P. Morgan, Goldman Sachs, some other big banks and non-bank corporations, the Fed, most of the US government and obviously other drug and insurance companies making money off the patent laws that allow drug companies to charge basically whatever they like during the 7 patent years.
Goodnight disabled and seniors, miss the drugs one night, help swallow them with your dog food rations the next.
Got parents in this situation?
Hey, any savings you had weren't making any interest anyway.
And college for your kids won't help anyway the way jobs are rushing overseas.
But hey, don't buy gold and silver, keep your dollars worth less and less everyday as the government prints so many dollars that the trillion mark bills from 1920's Germany will compare to trillion dollar bills in the post 2011 period, both which moved or will move from worth less to worthless.
