And don't forget that us Medicare Part D "customers" or whatever you want to call us have more than a little skin in the game, especially the ones who'll enter the "donut hole". I'd add that the government "choosing a plan" web site is rather good, give it a list of drugs and it'll tell you what you'll pay next year, modulo changes. It's also not difficult to manipulate it to play what if games, e.g. every once in a while I get a sinus infection, and it takes 30 days of a not so cheap generic antibiotic to be sure to cure it. So I put that drug on and off my list, to make sure it'll be acceptably priced if I have bad luck next year. Displays quality survey data that seems to have some relation to reality, makes enrolling in a new plan a snap, etc. etc.
