Guys, there are no good options for health care at the present (staying


healthy may help). I am on medicare. Money is taken out of the social security check for medicare. I have purchased medicare supplementary insurance. The really bad part is medicare, part D for medication. I pay another monthly premium to a company for that and still rapidly fall into the donut hole. My co-pay was just under $5,000 last year (not counting my wife and her premiums) and I am expecting more this year. I recently spent 4 days in a hospital. That was my first time ever to a hospital. I was born at home in 1946. I can't wait to see how much medicare and the supplementary insurance pays (or doesn't pay). My advice is the stay young and healthy. Those pre-Obamacare $800 monthly premiums from several years ago may look good to me in the future.
