Cashier:

"Does she have Medicare D?"

Me:

"No. We're too scared."

Cashier:

"I don't blame you. It's awful, the poor seniors. It's changing already."

Me:

"What do you mean, changing?"

Cashier:

"Everyday something changes. The co-pays are going up, the drug lists change. It started at one price, the prices are inching up. They think no one will notice."

Me:

"What do you mean inching up?"

Cashier:

"It's some sort of bait and switch."

Me:

"Come on! I thought it was supposed to be stable for one year."

Cashier:

"Isn't bait and switch when you buy one thing and get something different? No one knows anything. Seniors start to cry at the window. What should I say to them? We can't follow it. There are hundreds of plans, they keep changing."
