I’ve been searching for a news article that best explains how the new health care legislation changes the doughnut (donut) hole prescription medication problem.

The most comprehensive explanation that I have found was published by the LA Times on March 26, 2010.  Written by Christopher Weaver, the article, Health Plan Closes the Medicare Doughnut Hole, provides a clear description of the changes,  and it answers a range of questions.  As you read, avoid the advertisements that are strategically placed between paragraphs.
