医疗保险D部分处方药计划的早期结果显示，医疗保险已经达到了90%覆盖率的目标。这项调查是对65岁及以上的人进行的，他们在登记开始前和登记结束后接受了采访。弱势群体的入学率--健康状况差、低收入或认知障碍--几乎高到足以抵消其他覆盖率的降低。然而，相当多的老年人仍然没有得到保护，这与他们的自身利益背道而驰。老年人对D部分的评价褒贬不一，大多数人对医疗保险和政府的满意度较低，因为他们在这个项目上的经验。
Early results on the Medicare Part D prescription drug program, from a survey of people age sixty-five and older who were interviewed just before enrollment started and just after it ended, indicate that Medicare has met its target of 90 percent coverage. Enrollment rates in vulnerable subpopulations-poor health, low income, or cognitive impairment-are almost high enough to offset lower rates of other coverage. However, sizable numbers of elderly people remain uncovered, contrary to their self-interest. Seniors give Part D mixed reviews, and majorities are less satisfied with Medicare and with the government as a result of their experience with this program.
