Mark your calendars. Today we move into the tender hands of Medicare. It will be a matter of learning a new set of rules and habits. The doctors we have been dealing with in Texas don’t think it will be a problem. We are suddenly babes in the woods.
One of the things that was not clear to us about Medicare is that, just like regular insurance, you can opt in for different types of programs. We have always been able to stay away from HMO plans and it looks like we will be able to do that still. Whatever it is like I still think of all those who have been left in the lurch by a combination of bad decisions such as a vacation instead of health care, government interference in the free market through regulations and mandates, and lawyers that make doctors unwilling to take risks out of fear of lawsuits.
Either way, I am now on a government program. Please keep paying your taxes.

ReplyDeleteI wonder if I will join the left leaning AARP eventually. How fast will my principles erode? Keep me on track.
