Ten years ago, Medicare Part D was added to existing coverage for seniors and the disabled. It offered unprecedented access to prescription drugs.
But ProPublica Senior Reporter Tracy Weber, along with her colleagues Charles Ornstein and Jennifer LaFleur, took a closer look at this program, raising questions about whether the government is doing enough to oversee how drugs are prescribed. And what they found were abuses, misuses, and an enormous lack of transparency.
Our coverage reaches millions each week, but only a small fraction of listeners contribute to sustain our program. We still need 224 more people to donate $100 or $10/monthly to unlock our $67,000 match. Will you help us get there today?
