The "donut hole" or "gap" as the government uses is pretty simple.

If you have Medicare D "basic" you must pay a deductible amount of $265. Full coverage kicks in after that and pays everything up to $2400. Then you are in the hole 100% until you reach a total of $3850 (that hole amounts to 3850 minus $2400 or $1450) and you're back into the donut with the deductible being much smaller than the front end.

Now if you have Medicare D "enhanced" your deductible is much less but, there is a small deductible depending on the type of drug used. This is where the "crats" justify a booklet that breaks drugs in to various classes and spells out levels of deductibility.

Bottom line: ain't no such thing as premium -free Medicare.
