maintain Medicare without an additional plan, BUT go if necessary to a not for profit hospital in Florida. You cannot be followed by a large bill. If the
Villages hospital was not for profit, you would find substantially better care
(in my opinion) since they would be 'writing off' overwhelming cost to you...and to them. I love TV, I've been here since July, I am shocked at the status of Medicare issues here, the vitals reports on physicians, and about ready to give Mr. Morse a call and have a long talk. With 80,000 some seniors here, this 'city' could use a collaboration with a large not for profit hospital and doctor's who are part of that type of system. Try and find a
qualified gerontologist. This is an area in which we must all be proactive.
We worked, we paid into Social Security and the Medicare 'benefit' most all of our lives. It is time to clarify both our Medicare 'rights' and the extra
fee's here. I really have a plan, it keeps me up at night I swear, and I'm going to try and pull it off with a major not for profit medical center. Seriously concerned. I'm a doctor, but not that kind! However, I understand how the process is supposed to work for those of us who paid our dues!
