to the future...

Got another bill in the mail, this time from the ambulance company... wanting money that Medicare and the Supplemental didn't cover.... they will have to wait a while...if you are elderly or have elderly parents, be careful when shopping for a Medicare supplement, most don't cover everything.

EDIT: I just took another look at the bill and was surprised to find out that it cost $892,10 to be transported ONE MILE by ambulance!  And you wonder why health care costs so much. This is a rip off.

It appears the idea to privatize Medicare is one item the Republicans in the House are considering in their budget proposal. This article outlines what is being considered

and what maneuvers the Republicans are using to try to defuse the outrage they would receive from the seniors. It is worth a read. I would still be opposed as I cannot see shortchanging the next generation.
