I'm on Medicare. At 72, I'm uninsurable by anyone else. The meds I can get keep shrinking. I get my meds statement monthly and find that I'm generally paying about 70+% of the cost. And, I'm paying over $100 per month in prescription premiums.

Fewer doctors are even taking medicare patients. And, after the first couple of visits to specialists, I'm turned over to Nurse Practicioners. That's OK, because most seem to know what they're doing.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
