[Magdalen] health care...

[Charles Wohlers]

My dear wife has just turned 65 and is going through all this now. Medicare 
is $350 (or so) a *quarter*, not per month. They will bill you for it on a 
quarterly basis, but it works out to just over $100/month. This is *much, 
much, MUCH* cheaper than regular health insurance, for which Lee was paying 
well over $600 per month.

I've been fairly healthy and so haven't signed up for any supplemental 
insurance other than for prescriptions. My only major expense in the past 
three years was a $3000 or so hospital bill last year when my quadriceps 
tendon went and had to be reattached.

Am I becoming paranoid here?  Will the government start deciding who/what
can get the kind of treatment a doctor would have heretofore have
recommended?  Were all these 'steps', some of which have had phase-in plans
from the start, intended to cause profit only?    And don't get me started
about the Medicaid info I read the other day (which I'm counting the 2 years
+ less than a month till I qualify)  which sounded like if I collect SS at
66 I might have to pay $350. a month for Medicaid?? (and it didn't sound
like a supplement would defray *this* part of the cost).
