Medicare glitches slow drug coverage switch
Leavitt cited two problems in Medicare drug coverage shifts. Many auto enrolled participants found another plan and delayed switches past December, leaving files unchecked on Jan 1. Large data transfers between states and the federal system caused errors, omitting Medicaid users from Medicare plans. Ruth Grunberg said her pharmacist’s computer rejected her card on Jan 1, echoing Katrina response frustrations.

Concealed weapons bill returns to Kansas legislature
Kansas legislators revive a concealed carry bill pending training and background checks for 21 plus residents. Gov. Sebelius opposes broad carry rights, vetoed similar measure in 2004, with debate over committee hearing timing and potential override. The NRA backs the plan, which would require permits via local sheriffs and eight hours of certified safety training while prohibiting carry in state offices and jails.
