Before I (was forced) on Medicare, I paid nothing per month for health 
insurance, and paid my medical bills out of pocket.  Everything was 
covered.  At one point, I had one job where medical insurance was 
available, which I didn't take them up on.  What I'd have had to pay for 
it, for a woman of my (then) age, would have been more than I took home 
with my paycheck, and "mental" wasn't covered at all.  My medical bills 
at that time were mostly the prescriptions (getting them written) and 
the antidepressant drugs for Clinical Depression, aka "Mental".
