by the Way . . .

Just kidding. But although the govmnt has kicked off the advertising blitz, the web sites are not ready. It looks like the Drug Plan Finder will be helpful when it is functional, but right now it "strongly recommends" you fill in your list of drugs, but then tells you that facility is "coming soon". Probably we should check back after November 15. The effective date can be January 1, 2006, so you won't want to enter the new year with a big supply on hand. We will have more to say about this, and the arithmetic, when the web sites work.
