Here's three ways to compare drug plans
** Medicare.gov ..this is the official govt Medicare Web page ..(Click on "Find Health and Drug Plans")
If you enter your personal information, the drug plans will more closely fit your needs
After you enter your drugs and pharmacy, you will get some rather detailed (but nicely organized) information on drug plans available in your area
