About the Author

Patricia Barry is a recognized expert on Medicare and its Part D prescription

drug coverage. As a senior editor of the AARP Bulletin — the newspaper and

Web site that serve AARP’s 40 million members — she’s written extensively

about Medicare from the consumer’s point of view since 1999. That year, she

went to a press conference at the White House to hear President Bill Clinton

announce his proposal to add outpatient prescription drugs to Medicare and

came away thinking: “This story has legs — it’ll run and run.” For the next

four years, she covered the bitter political battles in Washington that finally

led to President George W. Bush signing Part D into law in December 2003.

Ever since, Patricia’s mission has been to explain the controversial and compli-

cated benefit to consumers. She’s written numerous articles and guides on navi-

gating Part D for AARP publications and books. Before and after the drug benefit

went into effect in 2006, she invited readers’ questions and personally answered

hundreds of them. She continues to do so through the Bulletin ’s Web site

( bulletin.aarp.org ). Patricia has directly helped many, many people —

readers, friends, neighbors, and colleagues’ parents — find the Part D plan that

suits them best. Those questions and experiences are the foundation of Medicare

Prescription Drug Coverage For Dummies.

In her long journalism career in Europe and America, Patricia has written

thousands of newspaper and magazine articles and three books. A native of

Great Britain, she’s lived since 1985 in Maryland, where she and her husband

raised three adventurous children — Katerina (currently living in Russia),

Jessica (in France), and Oliver (in Egypt). In 2006, not without a sense of

mutinous disbelief, Patricia became a Medicare beneficiary herself.
