The man behind the curtain

Rep. Mark Green is desperately trying to pull of Wizard of Oz move on the seniors of Wisconsin with his letter to Governor Doyle about prescription drugs last week. He thinks Wisconsin should clean up the mess that Congress made on prescription drugs. If you lean close enough to the screen of your computer while the letter is up, you can almost hear him yelling "Look over there, or over there, or anywhere besides the man behind the curtain that voted for the crazy prescription drug plan that no one can understand."

Here is the title to his press release:

In letter to Doyle, Green urges state to better inform seniors on drug savings

Here are the titles to a few of the many news stories that illustrate the real problem is the plan passed by the Federal Government (from NPR, the San Diego Union-Tribune, and the Scripps Howard News Service in that order).

States Act to Help with Medicare Drug Plan Problems
Medicare drug plan confusing seniors
New drug plan confusing for nursing home residents

Just goes to prove that when you write a prescription drug plan to help drug companies make more money instead of simply making it work for seniors, you have a hard time defending it.
