Future Federal Benefit Drug Wont' Cover Some Anxiety Drugs

[duddits]

When the government's new prescription drug benefit program kicks in next year it won't cover anti-anxiety drugs like Xanax, Valium, and Ativan. The concern is that states won't pick up the slack, and millions of elderly and disabled Americans won't get the medication they need. Their only choices will be to switch less addictive drugs or find better coverage.
