More Complicated than the IRS Tax Code - Drug Benefits

The new Federal Medicaid Prescription drug benefits are now taking effect.

It seems that tax accountants have a hard time understanding it so even THEY have to hire experts to decipher the benefit packages into a 3D decision matrix load into an Oracle database using Cubes to try and make a rational decision.

This means it will only cost each person around $15,000 to hire someone to figure out their unique needs accounting for all the possible benefit package and drug usage variations in order to get the best plan.

You can tell that the Republicans came up with this plan -- only the rich can afford it.
