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

I agree that the donut hole is simple. The problem is not that it's complicated but that it's unpopular. Not the same thing.

I read somewhere in the last couple of days looking at this issue that half the people covered by Medicare were simply incapable of understanding it. Which isn't very client oriented, to say the least.

pretty simple.

Yes, it is. And hated by those who use it. I don't run into it on the HMO plan.

But the drug plan has worked much better than expected. One big benefit has been the voluntary reduction in drug prices by the Drug companies for those who use it. This has really hurt the Dem's argument that mandatory price controls were needed.
