This is a nice place to go if you can get in. You have to make reservations 10 days ahead of time and people can book the sites a year in advance. Good Luck!

No trees in the sites. Just a big parking lot for your rigs. Nice casino. Not to many rigs there.

I just wanted to send in a review to tell you that the people that wrote the review in May/June are not friends of the park owners or they don't live in the park. We camped with them and we are from the same town they are from.(6 tow hours away) As to the noise from the road..there is some but you usually have the air conditioner on and hear nothing. There are shade trees. I think the people that camped in the travel trailer in July think this is a resort. Remember you are in high desert. You should of camped in the park down the road because there is a lot of action there. The police are there at least 3 to 4 times a week. And very small trees with the camp sites on uneven gravel. Mobile home park in the back. You want noise try Sand Mountain with the motorcycles. Now back to this park, they are friendly and are doing improvements on the park as it was just bought last Sept. Before you do slander, get your facts straight. I still like this RV park and will come back again.

Sci. Signal., 3 February 2009 PERSPECTIVESExtracellular ATP in the Immune System: More Than Just a "Danger Signal"Alain Trautmann Institut Cochin, Université Paris Descartes, CNRS (UMR 8104), Paris, France. Inserm, U567, Paris, France. Abstract: Extracellular adenosine 5'-triphosphate (eATP) is ubiquitously used for cell-to-cell communication. The low concentration of eATP ([eATP]) that exists in a "halo" surrounding resting cells signals the presence of neighboring living cells. Transient increases in [eATP] are used for basic physiological signaling, namely, in the nervous and vascular systems. Larger increases in [eATP] that are associated with cell death serve as a key "danger" signal in inflammatory processes. Two studies now point to roles for ATP in the immune system: providing a costimulatory signal to T cells and driving the differentiation of intestinal T helper 17 (TH17) cells. * Corresponding author.

Cusses Gorse to host Summer Supercross
Good news for Supercross fans as Cusses Gorse will host a summer Supercross race a week before the Maxxis British championship at Foxhill.
Maybe a summer motocross would be more beneficial at that time of the year, just a thought.
How many riders will sign up mid-season is another thing.
Here's what Justin Barclay Cusses owner had to say.


text: B-102-1 Pittsburgh 9 mo 4, 1812 I arrived at this place last 6 day night found Maria much more unwell than when I left her. She having been under the Care of Doct Stephenson of this place for the whole time and is still in the same situation, had a verry poor night last night, She was first aken with violent Chills & fever - has altered more in the time than I ever saw a person. her chills & fever State Continue, I hope they may soon be broke. I much rejoice she is in a situation that she can get those things her weak and delicate state require and good medical ade, which I believe she has had I much hoped she would bore this have been better, but I look forward tot a quite distant Period for her entire restoration to usual good health. we have Both experienced every mark of kindness and attention in the Power of our friends to bestow. As under every present prospect our return to Kendal is not at all probable, her physician disapproves of the Step as also does her connexions at this time, I have therefore thought best to send a Memorandum of such articles of Household goods as we left behind. Which I think had best be disposed of- to the best advantage and as soon as possible or Convenient if any person will take the Trouble, a reasonable Compensation we are willing to allow for doing the business. 9 mo 9 Maria still continues under the care of her Physician and is much weaker than when I first begun this letter She has passed yesterday without a Chill and I hope will not be afflicted with a return. her extream Weakness is much against her as her appetite is verry poor. her Physician has been obliged to give her a good deal of Physic to clear her System of the Complaint which he thinks had effected her Liver, her countenance looks better to day than before since sick I can but hope she is in a fair way to recover

Re: Mohawk Mountain House
Thanks thepiranha, I am terrible at spelling and just copied and pasted the name after the first time posted. I've now corrected it. I miss understood his point, but he was too busy insulting me to be kind.
Thank you everyone except you know who.
thepiranha wrote:
I think that Naslux is being a little harsh on you, Imbues. Reading all of the posts concerning the Mohonk House, it's pretty obvious that you made a typo or weren't paying attention when you typed the name. There's no reason for someone to accuse someone of lying unless someone says something that's blatantly untrue. I think that if you were going to lie, you'd find something more important to lie about or something that you could gain by lying. Besides, I looked up your earliest posts and on August 17, 2007, you specifically state that you live in the Hudson Valley. That's not something that people usually make up.
I'm a relatively new Luxury Link member and I've been very impressed with the informative posts and the civility displayed in these postings. Let's keep it that way.
Re: Mohawk Mountain House
Hey, no problem. After reading the previous posts, it was pretty obvious to me that you made a typo or simply misspelled the word. Don't let the earlier post bother you.
Re: Mohawk Mountain House
Hi Imbues, hi Naslux,
Imbues, you did the right thing, correcting the offending typo in your initial post. Mohawk and Mohonk, the two names sound similar and are easy to mix up, after all, we do have the Mohawk Valley (NY) and the Mohawk River in our neck of the woods named after the Mohawk Indians, even, if geographically correct, the Mohonk House lies in the Shawangunk Mountain Range. We were talking about New York. I was however surprised to learn that the Mohawk Mountaines lie in Arizona, and that there was another Mohawk Valley in Arizona. Who would have thought it. Naslux, you did quite a bit of work on this to prove your point, and I commend you for it, but there are many ways to do so without sounding condescending. This is a friendly community, let's keep it that way. Hope you will stick around and share some of your travel experiences and wisdom with us.

straight black hair and dark brown eyes. His skin has a copper tone. His nose is slightly
piglike, and he has a small pair of tusks protruding from his lower jaw.
Background: (PUBLIC)
Garrit Kelspire has no memory of his parentage. The only things that he knows about his
parentage is that he had an orc bandit gang leader for his father and a human concubine
for his mother. He was rescued as an infant when a group of adventurers vanquished the
bandit gang, losing both his parents in the process. His rescuer, the only person he knew as
a parent, the cleric Alexa Kelspire, convinced the rest of her party to spare the child. She
then brought him to the temple of Hyrag in Rincewood, where she was his primary guardian.
She taught him of the ways of Hyrag, and despite the inclinations of his heritage, he took to
the Sun God. Being slow academically, Garrit took to the martial arts, where he excelled. He
gave his life and sword to Hyrag at the age of 14 to train as a paladin, and it is now that he
is ready to bring the light into this dark world.

Background: Cryndo was born the youngest of two sons of a landowning family. As the second son, there was no inheritance for him, so he was trained in the temple of Hyrag. Cryndo immediately displayed an affinity for Hyrag's teachings and was soon the top apprentice in his temple. Although Cryndo enjoys the day-to-day duties of temple life, he
has been bit by the wanderlust bug. The temple leadership has been reluctant to let Cryndo strike out on his own, but now feels he is ready to strike out in the church's battle against evil and undeath.

Luthiel is a surly character when first you meet him, though anyone that proves
that they aren't "after him" will soon become his best friend (whether they want
to or not). He has gone to the Inn of the Red Dragon because he heard that there
are many opportunities for elves of skill to be had there.
Background: PRIVATE
Luthiel Farandar hails from a somewhat backwards elven community where, because
of his oddly dark skin and somewhat serpentine facial features, he was suspected
of having fiendish blood. He was always mistrusted and slightly feared for this,
and accused of many unsolved petty crimes. When fighting back against this
attitude didn't work, he decided to just go ahead and become a petty thief
(figuring that he might as well get the benefit as well as the punishment).
However, not too long afterwards, he was caught breaking into a neighbor's
house; after the jail sentence was up, he decided to leave town and see what
fortunes he could find in the wider world.Last edited by scout989; Friday, 28th October, 2005 at 06:20 AM. Reason: added XP

Personality: Kamdar always likes to start up a conversation, but will never miss an opportunity to regale his audience with a story, whether the story be true or fabricated. He wants to live life to its fullest and have an exciting time doing it. Then, he can tell other people about having an exciting time. He doesn't like close combat, preferring to keep his distance with his whip if anything goes wrong. He has full faith in his ability to charm his way out of a situation, though. When he's not doing anything else, he's probably playing with his ring, though.

Dagummit Mc Cracken of Clan Blondain is from a family who works as masons. Talented though he is, Dagummit never felt completely at home just working on stone. The road always appealed to him, from the stories of the great dwarven heroes, down to the stories of adventuring members of his family. So it is with great expectation that he sets out.
Dagummit is not the most socially capable. He has a tendency to make offhand comments, burp or do otherwise when it is most inappropriate. Combine that with the typical gruffiness of dwarves, and you have one interesting fellow.Last edited by Animus; Friday, 30th June, 2006 at 02:22 AM. Reason: **RETIRED**

Background: Ridik is born in the mountain in the North. His parents, having been killed by humans while he was only a baby, he has been taken care by his uncle, a priest of Russna. Being raised in the temple dedicated to her, he has been sensibilized to her cause. As many mountain goblin, the followers of Russna like to practice there artistic and architecture abilities, but the followers of Russna have the particular interest of trying to gain knowledge from the outside world. This must be one reason why the sanctuary have so few followers, as many died in the hand of humans who thinks they are just normal goblin.
Ridik has become very fascinated by the magic of the wizards, which are rare in his tribe. It took him time to decide to travel, but he left the sanctuary to go in the human world, hoping not to meet the faith of his parents.

His skin is very pale, and never tans. His eyes are dark, and seem oddly bloodshot even when he has had plenty of rest. He is of average height for a human, and his build is between that of a scholar and a soldier. Boog wears a dark blue cloak over a white shirt, a vest that matches the cloak, and leather trousers. A backpack rides upon his back and a heavy crossbow dangles from his belt. He is rarely without a staff in hand when traveling or just strolling about town. Boog is aloof and somewhat off-putting, seeming to regard others more as specimens to be studied than as companions to socialize with. Background: Boog Sammas appears to be human, but in truth, he is anything but. Boog is an Elan, a composite being made up of a human and an ancient spirit being, bond together in an obscure ritual. The spirit being gives him his psionic powers, but is otherwise simply "along for the ride" as the human part of Boog continues his existance. The ritual is such that Boog remembers little of his past before the transformation, save that he volunteered for the process out of hatred for a psionic race of beings. These may have been mind flayers, or not, and the reason for his anger may have been that they enslaved part of his family, or murdered them, or did something else equally horrible. Boog isn't really sure which, but he does know that he will use his powers to bring about the ruin of any evil psionic being that he encounters! Because he doesn't remember his past, and because he is no longer really human, Boog is a bit of an outcast wherever he goes. Simple things like table manners elude him, so he uses his telepathic powers to fit in as best he can. Boog knows that he needs to build up his powers before he can contend with the powerful beings who did -- something -- to his family, and so seeks out adventure as a means of training and honing his abilities. He has worked his way up the coast, following tales of adventure and mighty heroes who strive with fell monsters, and such was the reason he booked passage on a vessel that took him to the port city of Orussus, renowned home of the Red Dragon and those who tarry there between their journeys. There, at the Red Dragon, Boog met a man named Hamlir Thimbrall, who was suffering from a terrible curse. All the men in his family were cursed to turn into zombies once they reached their 20th birthday. Hamlir had recently turned 20, and was desperate since the transformation had already begun. To lift the curse, he had to retrieve the amulet that had bestowed the curse generations ago from the ruins of his family home. Hamlir had a problem...if he set foot within the walls, the transformation would become instantaneously complete. And finding help for his task was difficult, since the old mansion was currently infested with zombies! Boog agreed to help the man, along with Levin, Jann Hurst, Kamdar Gilfoot, ao'Thuir, and Ridik Keita, a mountain goblin. The party travelled to the old mansion, just a couple of days from Orussus, but they hadn't gone a day when they were attacked by group of bandits. All were quickly dispatched, save for one named Fredlar Wiggums who Boog used his powers to charm. Fredlar admitted that the group had been hired by a mage named Xran to murder the party. The party kept Fredlar until they were in sight of the mansion, then turned him loose. Once inside they searched the place room by room, destroying a half dozen zombies on the first floor and four more, stronger zombies on the second. Upstairs, they found a man named Gerald. At first he tried to lie to the party about the amulet, but when charmed by Boog, he handed it over. Gerald worked for Xyren, but had no qualms about switching sides to work for Thimbrall. The group cleaned out the mansion, and left for Orussus the next day. They were attacked by a pack of dogs, perhaps sent by Xyren, but slew several and drove the rest off. The group returned to Orussus, where the amulet lifted the curse from Thimbrall. Hamlir accepted Gerald's service. The party was all for hunting down Xyren, but Gerald talked them out of it when he described how powerful the mage was. Perhaps Boog will confront the wizard some other time.

It's been almost two years since Dash Navigation first announced its Dash Express portable navigation system, and we're happy to say that you can now finally get your hands on this device. The Dash Express is unlike any other portable navigation system on the market today because it offers two-way connectivity (cellular and Wi-Fi), giving drivers access to a whole new world of information via the Internet and the network of other Dash-connected users. You can conduct live (and more relevant) Web searches via Yahoo Local search; get real-time traffic data; wireless send addresses to the system; and much more. It really adds value to portable navigation devices, and it's the type of innovation that we think will take GPS to the next level--so much so that we even gave it a Best of CES 2007 award.
So did it deliver? Was it worth the wait? Well, there's good news and bad news. The good news is that we absolutely love what the connectivity brings to the device. We found great use and value in being able to conduct live searches, look for gas stations by lowest fuel prices, view traffic flow, and more. The Send2Car feature also worked flawlessly. The bad news is the unit was a subpar navigator. It was consistently off the mark when tracking our location, which ultimately affected route guidance. Now, Dash says the Express is for commuters and drivers who typically know where they're going and want the new features. OK, that's all well and good, but we're sure there will be times they have to venture to new places. And come on--the Express is still a GPS device, and it should be able to perform the core navigation functions well, especially if we're paying $399.99 for the thing. If Dash irons out those kinks, the Express will be a force to be reckoned with. The Dash Express is available starting today from Dash and Amazon.com, and includes three months of complimentary Dash Service. Afterward, you will have to purchase one of their plans, which range from $9.99 a month with a two-year plan to $12.99 per month for month-to-month.
The reaction has pretty much been the same from every passerby who has laid eyes on the Dash Express: "Whoa, that's a big device." At 4.8 inches wide by 4.1 inches high by 2.8 inches deep and weighing 13.3 ounces, the Dash certainly is a beast and harkens back to the days of older devices such as the bulbous Garmin StreetPilot c550. Dash says the extra bulk is because of the integrated wireless radios, which we understand, but we still think the company could have streamlined the design better, particularly the protruding backside, which is an eyesore.
On front, there's a 4.3-inch WQVGA color touch screen with a 480x272 pixel resolution and antiglare technology. You can adjust the brightness manually or turn on the ambient light function, which will automatically adjust the backlight depending on your environment. As with most portable navigation systems, there's a mode that will also automatically switch the map colors for daytime and nighttime. The display is sharp and maps are bright, but we wish the street names were in a slightly larger font.
We found the Dash Express to be quite simple to operate. The Dash has an intuitive user interface, and we were able to start planning trips and conducting searches without cracking open the user manual. Still, we recommend checking out the reference material and playing with the device before hitting the road for the first time, since the Dash has a lot to offer.
There are two touch-sensitive controls on top of the unit: one allows you to adjust the volume, while the second (labeled Menu) toggles between the main menu and the map screen. We had no problems with the volume control, but the menu button was a bit temperamental. For the most part, it always registered our touch, but there were a couple of occasions where we had to tap it a couple of times to switch screens. Finally, there is a power button on the right side and a mini USB port on the left.
The Dash Express comes packaged with a vehicle mount (windshield and dash), a mount arm extension, a car charger, an AC adapter, a soft carrying case, a USB cable, and reference material. The car mount has various knobs and buttons for adjusting the angle of the device and securing the entire apparatus to your windshield or dash. Despite the heft, the mount did a good job of holding the Dash in place while driving about town.
There are a number of features that make the Dash Express special and unlike any other portable navigation system on the market, starting with the Internet connectivity. With a built-in Wi-Fi and cellular radio, the Dash can use a Wi-Fi or GPRS connection to provide you with live content in the car. This allows you to perform more relevant and up-to-date searches with Yahoo Local search rather than relying on a stagnant points-of-interest database.
To start, just tap the search option from the main menu page, then enter a search term, and Yahoo will retrieve results closest to your location or in another state or city. Remember, this isn't like your regular POI catalog, you can really drill down and search for specific items. For example, let's say you're out shopping for bicycles. Just type in "bicycles" and Yahoo will find any relevant businesses as well as provide star ratings for the business based on user reviews. Once you have the search results, there are options to route to the location, save it, map it, or add it to your Favorites list. In addition, Dash Express provides current movie times and filters gas stations by real-time fuel prices. Sadly, at this time, there's no way to use the Dash as a hands-free speaker system to make or receive calls.

Chutney Turkey Burgers Recipe
"The secret to these burgers is the tangy mango chutney, but the arugula adds a special 'wow' to the plate. I get lots of compliments when I serve these at summer or fall cookouts." Jeanne Lueders - Waterloo, Iowa
- 1/2 cup chutney, divided
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons lime juice
- 1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 pound lean ground turkey
- 4 hamburger buns, split
- 16 fresh arugula or baby spinach leaves
- 4 slices red onion
- Combine 1/4 cup chutney, mustard and lime juice; set aside. In a large bowl, combine the parsley, onions, salt, pepper and remaining chutney. Crumble turkey over mixture and mix well. Shape into four patties.
- Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Grill burgers, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 5-7 minutes on each side or until a meat thermometer reads 165° and juices run clear.
- Serve on buns with arugula, onion and reserved chutney mixture. Yield: 4 servings.

Nice twist for turkey burgers. Quick and easy to make.
Reviewed Jun. 21, 2010
These turkey burgers were very tasty and easy to make. I doubled the chutney sauce to put on the hamburger buns. If you use lean turkey meat, be sure to cook them slowly and on low-medium heat so that they don't dry out.

If nothing else, then full marks for cabinetry and finishing!
Teresonic Speakers Play Loud
One of my last stops at THE Show at the Flamingo was the Teresonic room, where Mike Zivkovic demmed his 6'-tall single-driver Ingenium Silver Edition speaker using his own single-ended 2A3 tube amplifier. According to Mike, the amp uses interstage and output transformers from Lundahl and "there is not a capacitor in the circuit."
The Ingenium's cabinet is constructed, Mike says, more like the "body of a musical instrument", which I assume means that it is intentionally live but with the panel resonances spread evenly to minimize coloration. The speaker loads the rear of its Lowther drive-unit with something between a quarter-wave horn and a transmission line to achieve an astonishing specified sensitivity of 100dB and LF extension to 30Hz, 3dB. Once I had gotten used to the rather idiosyncratic treble presentation of the Lowther, the sound of the Ingeniums from LP did have superb dynamics and clarity, with good bass extension.

Observed fall | Yes |
Fall date | 18:46 UT on November 30, 1954 |
TKW | 5.56 kg |
Strewn field | Yes |
The Sylacauga meteorite fell on November 30, 1954 at 14:46 local time (18:46 UT)[1] in Oak Grove, Alabama, near Sylacauga. It is commonly called the Hodges meteorite because a fragment of it struck Ann Elizabeth Hodges (1920–1972).[2]
The Sylacauga meteorite is the first documented extraterrestrial object to have injured a human being in the USA. The grapefruit-sized fragment crashed through the roof of a frame house, bounced off a large wooden console radio, and hit Hodges while she napped on a couch. The 31-year-old woman was badly bruised on one side of her body but able to walk. The event received worldwide publicity.
The Sylacauga meteorite is not the only extraterrestrial object to have struck a human. A manuscript published at Tortona, Italy, in 1677 tells of a Milanese friar who was killed by a meteorite.[3] In 1992 a very small fragment (3 g) of Mbale meteorite hit a young Ugandan boy,[4] but it had been slowed down by a tree and did not cause any injury.
The meteor made a fireball visible from three states as it streaked through the atmosphere, even though it fell early in the afternoon.[5] There were also indications of an air blast, as witnesses described hearing "explosions or loud booms".[6]
Following events[edit]
This section does not cite any references or sources. (November 2012) |
The United States Air Force sent a helicopter to take the meteorite. Eugene Hodges, the husband of the woman who was struck, hired a lawyer to get it back. The Hodges' landlord, Bertie Guy, also claimed it, wanting to sell it to cover the damage to the house. There were offers of up to $5,000 for the meteorite. By the time it was returned to the Hodgeses, over a year later, public attention had diminished and they were unable to find a buyer willing to pay.[citation needed]
Ann Hodges was uncomfortable with the public attention and the stress of the dispute over ownership of the meteorite. Against her husband's wishes, she donated it to the Alabama Museum of Natural History.
Local African-American Farmer Julius McKinney found the second largest fragment from the Sylacauga meteorite. McKinney sold the meteorite to a lawyer from Indianapolis that later purchased it for the Smithsonian Institution located in Washington, D.C. McKinney's family never revealed the amount received from the sale, but it was enough for the family to purchase a car, new house, and land. [7]
Upon the entry within the atmosphere the Sylacauga meteorite fragmented in at least 3 pieces:[1]
- The Hodges fragment (3.86 kilograms (8.5 lb) - 33°11′18.1″N 86°17′40.2″W / 33.188361°N 86.294500°W) struck Ann Elizabeth Hodges.
- The McKinney fragment (1.68 kilograms (3.7 lb) - 33°13′08.4″N 86°17′20.7″W / 33.219000°N 86.289083°W) was found the next day December 1, 1954 by Julius Kempis McKinney, an African-American farmer who sold the meteorite fragment he found to purchase a house and more land.
- A third fragment is believed to have impacted somewhere near Childersburg (a few km north-west of Oak Grove).
The Sylacauga meteorite is classified as an ordinary chondrite of H4 group.[2]
The meteoroid came in on the sunward side of the Earth, so when it hit it had passed the perihelion and was travelling outward from the Sun. Considering the orbit estimations, the best candidate as parent body is 1685 Toro.[1]

Purchasing prescription drugs has long been a complicated and expensive process for many American consumers, and it's about to get a whole lot more complicated.
The Medicare program has begun to roll out its new benefit, Medicare Part D, which will provide prescription drug benefits for more than 42 million elderly and disabled people. It starts January 1, 2006, and it could ease the high cost of prescription medications for many of us.
As the federal government enacts this massive program and health insurers begin signing up customers across the country, caregivers covered by Medicare will need to make decisions about their own prescription coverage as well as that of their loved ones. We encourage you to take your time, do the necessary research, and make careful, well-informed decisions. You can sign up for the new Medicare drug benefit starting November 15, 2005, but the final deadline for enrollment without penalty is not until May 2006.
In addition to the Medicare program, voters in California will choose between two competing measures, Propositions 78 and 79 on the November ballot, which also seek to create prescription drug discount programs.
The information below is intended to help you better understand the changes on the horizon and offer resources for finding help.
Use the next several months to learn about your options and seek help from organizations and government agencies that can answer your questions about the new prescription drug benefits.
To help in your decision-making, save information sent from the government on the Medicare Part D changes, especially the Medicare & You handbook. Watch for information from former insurance companies, employers or other sources of current drug coverage. Do not divulge your Social Security numbers and finance information to marketers who are selling drug coverage plans over the phone.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services recommend that caregivers:
Medicare Part D was established by the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA) and is designed to lower the cost of prescription drugs for many senior and disabled Medicare beneficiaries. It will replace the Medicare discount drug card and transitional assistance program started last year.
The new drug benefit presents a wide—and potentially confusing—array of new options to Medicare beneficiaries. Beginning in January, beneficiaries will be covered for prescription drugs by private insurance plans that contract with Medicare to provide the new benefit. Under Part D, Medicare beneficiaries may enroll in Medicare Advantage, Medicare's managed care program for all Medicare benefits including drug coverage, or enroll in a separate prescription drug coverage plan and get other benefits from Medicare or Medigap policies. Coverage from Medicaid (Medi-Cal in California), or retirement programs also may change. It is important to understand that premiums, deductibles, co-payments and medications covered vary from plan to plan.
Health care plans participating in Medicare Part D are required to offer enrollees the "standard" benefit, which in 2006 includes:
Medicare drug plans will have some flexibility in deciding which drugs to cover and will create a list of covered drugs (known as a formulary), which will be subject to federal approval. (Formulary information for Medicare drug plans is available online at www.medicare.gov. Those who don't use online services can call (800) MEDICARE. Enrollees will have to pay out-of-pocket for any drug that the plan does not cover, and that payment will not count toward the cost-sharing coverage limits. Medicare drug plans may also offer more comprehensive coverage with higher premiums.
Enrollment in Medicare drug plans is voluntary for most beneficiaries. Dual eligibles—people who are enrolled in both Medicare and Medicaid—will be automatically enrolled if they do not join a plan on their own by January 1, 2006.
Others will need to enroll during open enrollment, which will be from November 15, 2005 to May 15, 2006. If you or a loved one become eligible for Medicare after the initial enrollment period, there will be a seven-month period to enroll, including the three months before and three months after the month you become eligible.
To encourage seniors to enroll in Medicare Part D immediately, a late enrollment penalty will be applied for those who enroll after the initial open enrollment period. The penalty will be applied to individuals who do not enroll when they are first eligible and who do not have other prescription drug coverage. (Other coverage must be at least as good as Medicare's coverage—it must be creditable coverage.) The penalty will be paid in the form of higher monthly premiums, and the penalty amount increases every month until enrollment is complete.
Your current coverage will determine your enrollment options in the new Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit. See Table below, Summary of Options Under Medicare Part D. .
What you need to know about your options under the new Medicare drug benefit...
Approximately one-third of Medicare consumers are enrolled in Medicare Advantage, which is Medicare's managed care program (formerly called Medicare+Choice) served by private HMOs or PPOs who have contracted with Medicare to provide services. Under Part D, Medicare beneficiaries may enroll in Medicare Advantage for all Medicare benefits, including drug coverage. If you are currently enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan, check that the plan offers prescription drug coverage, and the coverage includes the medications you need.
In addition to the standard benefit offered under Medicare Part D, the Medicare plan includes significant federal subsidies to reduce costs for lower-income beneficiaries receiving the new prescription drug coverage.
An estimated 14.4 million beneficiaries—one-third of the Medicare population—will be eligible for this additional assistance in 2006. Dual eligibles will automatically be deemed eligible for low-income subsidies. Consumers who are low income but not dually eligible may also qualify for subsidies. Many low-income beneficiaries will receive coverage for the standard benefit with much lower or no monthly premiums. Contact the Social Security Administration for more information.
Note: Recent news reports indicate that there is a factual error pertaining to the new prescription drug benefit in the Medicare booklets, Medicare & You. The booklets incorrectly list all plans available for those with limited assets and income as having no monthly premium. However, only about 40 percent of the plans actually qualify for no premium. Please be sure that you have accurate information before signing up for a plan. For clarification, contact the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) or the other helpful Medicare Resources listed here.
In addition to the publicly funded prescription drug benefits being introduced through Medicare Part D, there are also various discount programs available to consumers, including drug company discount cards, private insurance (HMO or PPO), discount pharmacies, and other sources of assistance.
Drug discount cards offered through Medicare-approved HMO plans will be replaced by the new Medicare Part D prescription drug benefits. You may use your Medicare-approved drug discount card until May 15, 2006 or until you join a Medicare
Prescription drug plan, whichever is first. Once you have a Medicare prescription drug plan, you can no longer use your Medicare-approved drug discount card.
Many pharmaceutical companies offer discount cards to help consumers save money on the prescription drugs that the company makes and sells. There is usually no fee for these cards. It is anticipated that drug discount programs offered by both private insurance and pharmaceutical companies will change as a result of Medicare Part D.
As we go to press, two measures on the November 8 special election ballot in California also seek to create prescription drug discount programs. One measure is sponsored by a coalition of pharmaceutical companies and the other is sponsored by a coalition of labor and healthcare advocacy groups.
The dueling initiatives, Propositions 78 and 79, share the same goal and are part of a nationwide movement to reduce drug prices to consumers. Each proposition seeks to establish a prescription drug discount program for low- and moderate-income Californians by negotiating for rebates from drug manufacturers.
Both propositions have restrictions indicating that the discounts are for those Californians who do not already receive drug coverage from private health insurance, Medi-Cal, or the Healthy Families programs. Medicare beneficiaries, however, can receive discounts for drugs they purchase which are not covered by Medicare.
Under both proposed plans, lower-income residents who lack prescription drug coverage would pay a modest annual fee for a discount card that could be used throughout California. The state would negotiate with drug companies for reduced drug rates for cardholders.
Key differences between Propositions 78 and 79 include:
Under Proposition 78, backed by the pharmaceutical industry, discounts on prescription drugs would be provided to those earning up to three times the federal poverty level ($28,710 for an individual or $58,050 for a family of four). The proposition, if passed, would require beneficiaries to pay an annual application fee of $15 and would provide benefits for an estimated five million Californians. Drug companies would negotiate volume discounts voluntarily.
Proposition 79, supported by union, health care and consumer groups, calls for discounts for those earning up to four times the federal poverty level ($38,280 for an individual or $77,000 for a family of four).
Proposition 79 would require beneficiaries to pay an annual application fee of $10. This plan would serve an estimated 10 million Californians. Drug company participation in providing discounts would be mandatory. In addition, under Proposition 79, individuals could sue a pharmaceutical company if they believed it participated in illegal pricing practices.
Each measure seeks to benefit from California's purchasing clout, but Proposition 79 does so by utilizing what some have called the "Medicaid hammer." A company that refuses to offer what state negotiators deem to be a sufficient discount could have its drugs removed from the formulary of the state Medicaid program. (Medi-Cal, California's Medicaid program, has an annual drug budget of more than $4 billion.)
In the event that a company's drugs are removed from the Medi-Cal formulary, doctors would have to receive "prior authorization" from Medi-Cal before prescribing a restricted drug to a Medi-Cal patient. In other words, doctors could still prescribe a noncompliant company's drug, but that drug would be removed from a "preferred list."
This key difference—whether Californians should embrace a voluntary or mandatory approach—is resulting in a costly political battle. The pharmaceutical industry, backing the voluntary approach, had by press time collected more than $80 million for its pro-78/anti-79 campaign. The proponents of Proposition 79, California consumer and labor groups, have raised about $1.8 million. The campaigns for Propositions 78 and 79 are attracting national attention, as pharmaceutical companies worry that the outcome of the vote on the two measures could affect the national debate.
