Answer 2

Answer:

He qualifies for a special enrollment period and can enroll in or disenroll from a Part D plan and the subsidy will apply to the plan he chooses.

Explanation:

The Medicare part D plan also known as the Medicare prescription drug coverage which helps to provide subsidized cost on prescribed drugs depending on the cost of the drug and patient's eligibility for other federal income based subsidies. With this Mr. Johannsen may either enroll or dis enroll from the Medicare plan D and still has the low income subsidy applied to any plan of his choosing.
