In February 2006, nearly four in ten seniors (28%) said they thought people on Medicare have too many drug plans to choose from, while 15% said they have too few to choose from, and 17% said they had about the right amount. Nearly half of seniors (49%) said they did not know how many plans people on Medicare would have to choose from. When told that most people on Medicare would have at least 40 plans to choose from, two-thirds (66%) said having this much choice makes it confusing and difficult to pick the best plan, while about one in five (21%) said it is helpful and provides an opportunity to find the best plan.
