There will be a number of plans to choose from with differing monthly premiums ("generally about $37 in 2006") and copayments. Your health or income cannot prevent you from benefiting from one of these plans - even if you have prescription drug coverage from an employer, union, or other policy (e.g. Medigap). Those with limited income will get help paying for their coverage.
Medicare lists the following important dates regarding the new prescription drug plans:
