Seniors struggle through Medicare drug changes
After struggling to get her 11 prescriptions filled through the new Medicare prescription drug plan, Bronx resident Joanne Carleucci needed an aspirin.
"It was such a bad experience, I went to the pharmacy to get my medication and I couldn't, so I had to go home without it," said Carleucci, 55.
Carleucci was eventually able to get her drugs after her doctor intervened. She is one of millions of seniors around New York and the rest of the country adjusting to the plan called Medicare Part D, which went into effect this month.
