Medicare is committed to helping seniors enroll in the plan that is best for them. We have people here today to answer questions, but more importantly, we have thousands of operators standing by 24 hours a day, seven days a week to answer questions.

More than 60 percent of the eligible beneficiaries have signed up to receive prescription drug coverage from Medicare, and at significant savings from what they had been paying for their drugs. In the past month alone, about 380,000 Americans signed up each week. Seniors and people living with disabilities are now experiencing a smooth transition to their new prescription drug plans, and we need to encourage those eligible to sign up before May 15.

We've worked very closely with all of the plans to ensure that they have appropriate transition policies.

There are hoops for industry to jump through.

We, in all instances of improper disclosure, do have some kind of investigation.
