As I have often stated, I am not the sharpest knife in the block. That being said, yes I am on Medicare. NO, I am not in favor of the Ryan plan (as I understand it) or any other plan to do away with it.

Why? As I see it, it is an insurance plan. If not, why do we pay monthly premiums to have it plus monthly premiums to have another insurance plan to supplement it? And, a drug plan.

Can anyone explain to me what, as a senior, I am getting free (entitlement, I believe it's labeled) when we shell out over $500 a month now for this "entitlement"?
