This video from Family First was shown our group many years ago. It highlights three major flaws in the medicare drug program. Representative Carnahan and Representative Emmerson offered some fixes, but that leglislation died. To date, almost nothing done to solve these problems and hundreds of billions of dollars continue to be wasted each year.
Senator's Bond's reply was that "seniors were happy" with drug program and cited a very flawed study. Not any senior I know has this view, especially union folks. Ditto that reply from ex-senator Jim Talent for they fit the "talking points" of the time exactly.
For those whom missed this, Walter Cronkite is the narrator. More info at:

Everyone might wish to refresh on this vid. And again, nothing has changed in last three years since vid was released. also make note of the video in previous post on the politics of this bill getting thru congress.
