Jack Silverman of Short Hills, N.J., visited his local Walgreens pharmacy first thing Sunday and tried to fill two prescrtptions. He was stunned when the bill came back showing he owed twice what he had been paying $255.52 instead of$1 19.79. Silverman said he knows there could be a good expla· nation for the bill, which he declined to pay. But he could not reach anybody Sunday or Monday associated with the fedenil government or his insurance provider who could · · take his call. "I'm reaJiy disappointed the , system 'didn't take into consrderation that Sunday was New Year's Day and Monda~ was also a holiday, ' Silverman said. "People who really needed their medication could havf! been at a loss." However, Kevin James, the national accounts manager for more than 3,700 pharmacies · operating in Wai-Mart and . Sam's Club stores, said the reports he received nationwrde indicated the new program was off to a good start. "l don ' t know i( we knew what to expect," James said. "! would say it's gone pretty well." Officials were most con. cerned about ensuring that 6.2 million people previously getting their · medicine through Medicaid were in the new program: The "dual-eligible" population is generally· frail ana has extens1ve medrcation needs. Bruce Roberts, CEO of the National Community Pharmacists Association, said that pharmacies often had on trouble determining Sunday and Monday whether their duaJ-eligible customers were enrolled in the new ~ro. gram. However, the prob eni was easing Tuesday.· "We knew it was going to be difficult," Roberts said. t~e clock runs on Congress' short-term extension of the Patriot Act, President Bush . met with federal prosecutors Tuesday and contended that the domestic anti-terror law is vital to keeping Americans· safe. Many key provisions of the law were to expire Dec. 31. Amid .a debate over whether the act sufficiently protects civil liberties, most Senate Democrats and a · few ReJ?ublicans united against Iegtslation that would have renewed several · provisions permanently while extending . others for .four years. 111' a move the White House adamantly opposed but later accepted, Congress approved a one-month extension of the law· in its current form to allow the debate to continue. The new measure expires Feb. 3. Bush, his voice rising in llpparent . irritation, said lawmakers must act on a permanent renewal of the law that exp'anded the government's · surveillance·and prosecutorial powers against suspected terrorists, their associates and financiers. N,oting the Patriot Act was over~helmingly approved . not long after the 2001 terrorist attacks on New Yotk and Washington, he said of Columbia. "We believe , this provides adequate safeguards 111 every respect," said Mary Beth Buchanan. the U.S. attorney for the Western District of . Pennsylvanta. Se.n. Russ Feingold, DWis .. said Bush should spend more time negotiating about Patriot Act with · the Democrats and others on Capitol · Hill and less on "staged meetings with handpicked participants" at the Wliite House.
