Selected Survey Findings of the Medicare Rx Drug Law – Survey Toplines

Seniors are confused about the Medicare prescription drug law. Below are survey toplines of selected findings from the January/February 2004 Kaiser Health Poll Report survey. The findings show that while about two-thirds of seniors report following the debate closely, just 15% say they understand the new prescription drug law very well and seven in 10 don’t know that it passed and was signed into law.
