A Site Re-Design

[By David Belk MD]

Here’s the new website with a whole new look that’s been redesigned by Modern Creations: http://truecostofhealthcare.org

There are three new sections:

The first is a study of the prices of brand name medications. It shows that the price pharmacies in the US pay for brand name drugs have gone up an average of 40% in 2 1/2 years. That’s about 18 times the rate of inflation.

The other two new pages examine Medicare supplemental policies as well as Part D and Advantage programs:

• http://truecostofhealthcare.net/medicare-supplemental-insurance/
• http://truecostofhealthcare.net/medicare-part-d-and-medicare-advantage/

The page on supplemental policies is an expansion of the blog I wrote 2 years ago on the subject. It answers just about any question you might have about what Medicare covers and how much you would expect to pay if you have Medicare and need medical treatment
