President Bush signed the Medicare Prescription Drug Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 into law on December 8, 2003. This new law preserves and strengthens the current Medicare program, adds important new coverage for prescriptions and preventive benefits, and provides extra help to people with low incomes. You can choose to stay with the Medicare coverage you have now, or enroll in new options.
For answers to your questions about the new prescription drug benefits, see the Frequently Asked Questions at Medicare.gov, The Official U.S. Government Site for Medicare Information.
