WASHINGTON – Problems with the federal government's new Medicare prescription drug plan are creating a health crisis in California, Sen. Dianne Feinstein said Friday, a day after the state announced emergency drug coverage for California's seniors because of the problems.
Unlike most Democrats, Feinstein voted for the prescription drug plan pushed by President Bush when it passed the Senate in 2003. But in a letter to Health and Human Services Secretary Michael Leavitt, she said it was 'incomprehensible' how many problems there have been with the program's implementation since it took effect Jan. 1."
