Excellent! I'm not on these, but I have long thought it mean that the benzodiazepines were specifically excluded from Medicare (I hadn't known about the barbiturate exclusion, or had forgotten). Also, the article you link to mentions the Beers list that has to do with drugs among elders, but Medicare also has to meet the needs of it's younger members who have that coverage due to disability, not advanced age.
