Medicare Wants You…But Beware
the Side Effects, Says ADV-Care Pharmacy
by Ramy Attalla
The new Medicare prescription drug program has been unveiled in various
forms. The spin doctoring has begun but no amount of sugar coating can hide a
glaring and unexpected side effect: Employers are dumping retirement drug
benefits in lieu of Medicare, forcing retirees to scramble to replace lost
coverage. Fortunately, help is available from a leading Canadian pharmacy,
ADV-Care (www.ADV-Care.com).
Toronto, Canada (PRWEB via PR Web Direct)
November 7, 2005 -- U.S. Government officials and private insurers are touting
the new Medicare prescription drug program (Part D) as a cure to a financial
condition that has long afflicted millions of American seniors who struggle to
afford their prescription medications. Critics, on the other hand, have charged
that the program is far too costly, confusing and fraught with coverage gaps.
Regardless of your viewpoint, an ugly and unanticipated consequence is beginning
to unfold with alarming frequency. Corporate retirement drug benefits are being
cut back or eliminated because of perceived redundancy with Medicare Part D. But
help is available from a licensed Canadian mail-order pharmacy, ADV-Care (www.ADV-Care.com)
where patients can save 40-70% on their prescription medications.
In recent weeks a number of large companies have announced that their
prescription benefit coverage for retired employees is being canceled outright.
Company officials cite the overlapping coverage of the new Medicare program as
the reason for the policy. Shocked retirees now find themselves thrust into a
frantic search for options including hastily arranged presentations by Medicare
advisers and private insurance brokers.
Unfortunately, after wading through reams of confusing documents, most retirees
are discovering that the new Medicare coverage does not compare favorably to
their previous company plans. In fact, to their dismay, many are realizing that
it may not provide much immediate benefit at all. Then the fine print: premiums
will rise annually and drug coverage may be subject to change, followed by their
reluctant acquaintance with the now infamous “donut hole” component. Surely
there must be other options?!
One such option until now has been the patient assistance programs offered by
the various pharmaceutical companies. Although sparsely promoted and hard to
qualify for, these free or reduced price drug programs are often a beacon of
hope for many seniors with low incomes. But now even that may be in jeopardy
when seniors enroll in Medicare Part D. Several drug companies have already
announced that patients that sign up for Medicare D will no longer qualify for
free or reduced drug programs.
“That’s what I call a double whammy”, says Ramy Attalla, Manager of Research &
Development at ADV-Care (www.ADV-Care.com),
located in Toronto, Canada. “The rug is literally being pulled out from
underneath thousands of seniors. We sympathize and want to help ease their
burden by offering significant savings from Canada.”
Despite attempts by the pharmaceutical industry to malign the quality of drugs
imported from Canada, millions of patients have already discovered that they
need not pay twice as much for the same drug. The key is to purchase only from
duly licensed, CIPA certified pharmacies like ADV-Care.
ADV-Care’s website at
www.ADV-Care.com features an automated calculator that instantly compares
Medicare drug costs vs. buying from ADV-Care pharmacy. Most patients will
realize between 40-70% savings simply by ordering directly from ADV-Care
pharmacy. However, when compared to Medicare (Part D), analysis demonstrates
that ADV-Care Pharmacy exceeds Medicare discounts by an average of 20-40%.
Patients are also welcome to call toll free at 1-888-471-4721 and receive a free
personal consultation to determine a more exact comparison.
ADV-Care is licensed by the Ontario College of Pharmacists; holds a US
non-resident license and has been safely dispensing medications to Canadian &
U.S. residents for 5 years. All medications are Health Canada approved and are
dispensed by licensed pharmacists.
