KMOS Live- Medicare Rx: It's All Coming Together

This special aired on November 5 & 6, receiving a large number of calls with questions about the new Prescription Drug Plan. The panelists discussed many general aspects of how the plan is designed to work, and how recipients may be able to find assistance. As each family is unique in their needs, the panelists provided the phone numbers listed below.
The program aired live Saturday night, and representatives from Care Connection for Aging Services answered the calls and transcribed the questions for the panelists. The program was re-broadcast the next day.
