You know what ticks me off? is that these Baby making Machines out there and everyone that cheats the freaking WELFARE system ? .. VS medicare and SSI ect: These People get a full Blown free to them medical Asstence .they get there teeth done for free dentures ect: and eyes Care ect:
now my Opinion is? Medicare & Medical Asst ( welfare) is about the same thing Goverement funded and? we Pay for our medicare and to get a supplement here in Pa would cost me $176 per mnth additionaly this country is unfair i worked my ass off back in the day Paid for WELFARE like anyone else and we get shitty coverage check this out this is true i broke my left femure in July 4th of 1998 the Orthapedic that did the surgery didnt relize i wasnt fully a sleep he quoted " Lets Just throw a rod in the Bone and stable him back up hes on Medicare anyWay !! you bet your bottom doller i tunned his ass in of course he denied it , But anyway i can see OUR kids needing this service WELFARE for the kids sake but damn i just Paid of another 9 2nd surgery to my femure 0 because the rod that was put in broke 2 yrs ago i just sent the last Payment in i felt like i paid off my car !, but i hope Obama does some reconstruction on this system good thing my Family Dr Just accepts what medicare Pay's him and ask's nothing more from me and i think thats how it should be my opinion of course i believe we are being miss treated i have Part A & B i cant even afford to go for my Annaul stress test because after medicare Pays the 80% i still have a $1500 Bill and the Cardio's office wont work with me they want the $$$ no less them $100 per mnth as well i need my teeth yank 'd out i have decaying because of Past medications caused rot here again medicare wont cover dentures so i suffer, same with my Blurried i sight cant get that checked out and yet we PAY a % for it wtf is wrong!! with this Picture thanks for letting me vent

" I am sorry you are having a difficult time with all of this. Yes the system is messed up. Changes need to be made. Keep on you local reps to make the changes. You keep being persitent and your voice will be heard.

I, like you, had dental trouble due to meds. Lived a long time with them. Finally found out that the dental school @ the U of MN handles cases on a sliding fee scale - it's students doing a majority of the work but they are well supervised by the profs. You might want to check out in your area if there are any such programs available.
Good luck to you on your journey. "

" there is a replacement ins. for medicare. you buy it from a ins. agent. the premium what was used for your medicare, but this ins. gets it instead. my coverage is better than what my wife has at work (blue cross blue sheild). you have no out of pocket except normal co-pays like any other ins. some of my meds are covered 100%. i had a hosp. bill for $125,000. my part of the bill was $625. just cal your local ins. agent. hope this helps.
