Averting a `Transition in Crisis'

The MRC called on Congress to "extend Medicaid for a reasonable period during the transition to ensure that there are no catastrophic consequences due to the disruption of drug regimens."

MRC President Robert Hayes, J.D., noted in a prepared statement announcing the new analysis, "The nearly six-and-a-half million dual eligibles have the unfortunate distinction of being at greatest risk of being harmed by the [Medicare Modernization Act]. They face the likely prospect of losing their comprehensive drug coverage come January 1, 2006."

Hayes emphasized, "In our view, it is essential that the federal government acts swiftly to ensure that it does not violate the most fundamental principle of health care: do no harm."
