People with problems, as reported by The New York Times:

...Many megayachts have grown so big -- sometimes as long as a football field -- that their very size rules out docking at most marinas, which don't have large enough slips to accommodate them....

It is a problem that has vexed Ira and Audrey Kaufman ever since they built their dream boat, Gray Mist III, a 150-foot yacht fashioned after their home in Highland Park, Ill. -- complete with antique furniture, a working fireplace and a dining table that seats 12 -- about five years ago.

"Many places that we go to, you can't get in the marina because our draft is too deep," said Mr. Kaufman, 77, a senior managing director at Mesirow Financial....

"There's so few marinas now that you can get a boat in," Mr. Kaufman said. "There's not room." ...

People with problems, as reported by USA Today:

The problems began showing up earlier this month at small pharmacies such as the one Ed Derderian runs in Dinuba, Calif.: poor, elderly and disabled residents unable to get their prescriptions refilled.

... trouble persists for people such as Geoffery Foughnor of Galveston, Texas, and his mother, Helen Walker. Foughnor has been without his prostate-cancer medicine for a week. Walker used her last blood pressure pill -- a loan from the neighborhood CVS drugstore -- on Thursday....

Since Medicare began covering prescription drugs this month for the first time, some low-income Americans have lost ground. They are among 6.2 million Medicare beneficiaries also on Medicaid....

Until Dec. 31, they were getting prescription drugs from Medicaid, usually with co-payments of just a few dollars. On Jan. 1, they were automatically enrolled in one of Medicare's private insurance plans. But many beneficiaries have disappeared from the government's database, been overcharged or found that important prescriptions are no longer covered, pharmacists and government officials say....

Do I even need to tell you which group is getting a break from the taxman?

THE BUDGET blueprint for fiscal 2006 could come to the House and Senate floors this week....

The resolution would take from the poor and give to the rich. It would provide for easy passage -- no Senate filibuster allowed -- of what's likely to be $70 billion in tax cuts over the next five years, the benefits of which would tilt heavily toward wealthier Americans.... The new cuts would, among other things, extend the lower tax rates for dividend and capital gains income. According to an analysis by the Urban Institute-Brookings Institution Tax Policy Center, almost three-fourths of the benefits from those cuts would go to the richest 3 percent of Americans, households making more than $200,000 a year....

Good thing, too, because marinas for those huge yachts are finally being built in large numbers, according to the Times, and the fees will undoubtedly make a lot of megayacht owners really feel the pinch.

As for those seniors who are running out of drugs: Your call is important to us. Please continue to hold....
