Have you heard about Medicare's new prescription drug coverage? As part of the new plan, people with limited incomes may now be able to get extra help to pay for prescription drugs.  If you qualify, you will get help paying for your drug plan's premium, co-payment, and save on prescription drugs when the plan starts January, 2006.  See further information under the Wyoming State Health Insurance Information Program and Senior Medicare Patrol below.
