Medicare has turned out to be fantastic for me. I have a very positive attitude about most things. I am grateful for the coverage and care it has provided since we landed in this beautiful place.
Sir, do you remember the day you alerted me for a spelling error? I do! I typed THE and it was supposed to be THEY. Just returning the favor because of the kindness you have shown me since you started posting again and I have been a member of TOTV'S. With all due respect.

It is always me.....getting old.
This is what I posted....
"If, and not sure whether you are or not, you are implying that Medicaire was free.....sorry..... I though that would allow if I misinterpeted what you typed but I suppose I was not clear. I thought the commas work.....
And I give respect and kindness from where I receive it. Always been my philosophy. I
DO remember correcting your typing with humor but again....I am just an old guy and my communication skills must be wavering.
Bottom line we are ALL enjoying Medicaire. Amazing how I, at least ME wondered at a young age about the deduction and now I am happy for it.
Your concern for entitlements or
"I'm not for giving anything free to anyone." is certainly a valid point and concern, but this
"Many people blame the deficits on entitlement programs. But that's not supported by the budget. " Current US Federal Budget Deficit: Causes, Effects And I can only speak from experience, I have seen first hand what good is done with helping folks out from time to time and the good of the country is served. If you speak about abuse of the system, you are correct.
Lots of medical professionals have been gaming our healthcare system and if you are interested, this is a good article on that subject from Johns Hopkins
Health Care Fraud and Abuse
In any case, I meant no offense and that explains my wordy beginning in replying since I never included
you in that post of mine and only mentioned it as I did because you mentioned
"getting things for free" and so many on this forum and elsewhere believe that Medicaire is a terrible entitlement.
And thanks for being a "Very proud American" I have served both in battle and in the halls of Washington with many proud Americans. I liked the part about "playing by the rules", something my entire career was based on.
