Why we checked itRogers claims two million Michigan families are on Medicare Part D and takes credit for championing it, asserting there was no prescription drug coverage before — both the figure and the historical claim about Part D's origins are verifiable.
What we foundThe claim that 'two million Michigan families' are on Medicare Part D is overstated: enrollment figures consistently show approximately 1.84–1.98 million individual beneficiaries, not families, and the number has only recently approached (but not reached) 2 million.
