Originally posted by seer View PostOK, you will pay $135 for part A a month, I have a supplement that coast $220 a month (through Anthem). That covers most tier one and two drugs (generics) and everything else. I pay no co-pays on doctor or hospital visits or surgeries or tests after my once a year deductible of $180.00.

Originally posted by seer View PostNo, my work pays the $220 end. I do pay the $135 to Medicare part A. Of course being a Vet I could get just about everything for free, but I'll leave that to the guys who really need it.
Just like Obamacare ended up costing everyone more so will "free healthcare" they will give you some minimum healthcare for "free" and then make you buy government supplied "supplement" plans to cover necessities like dental, medicine, doctor visits, etc.

Originally posted by Sparko View PostYeah but when I retire I will have to pay it all myself. That's what I am complaining about. The "free healthcare" will cost me more than the private healthcare does. If the government has screwed up the socialized healthcare plans it has now so badly, why would I expect them to handle it for the entire country any better?Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope.
