Previewing Medicare signup start

It seems, from my non-scientific review of coverage on the eve of the Medicare Part D signup, that many papers took the Q/A route -- explaining some ins and outs to readers. Others when the ways of the Sunday NY Times, talking with people who see doom on the horizon. Guess we'll see.

One way to track what colleagues are doing is to search Medicare in Google News. You can customize the page so the top Medicare stories come up when you go to the site. One advantage to Google News than, say, over Topix.net is Google lets you sort by relevance -- bringing up grouping of stories on similar topic within Medicare, or by date, which brings up-to-the-minute list of things. (For those with lexis-nexis access, you can do something similar there as well.)
