Yes, there has been a significant change to drug coverage tied to Medicare ... there are now numerous plans to choose from depending on the drugs you use, how often etc., etc., and perhaps income as well ... from what I 've heard, it takes an 'expert' to analyze and decide on the best plan for an individual.

I don't know whether 'imported' drugs are the same or not (I'm not saying they aren't), but one thing we have done through our med plan is purchase prescription drugs on line in quantity ... you can get a 3x dose supply and only pay the deductible for 2x ... It's a savings ...
