No need to research as I am using actual experience.
I can honestly say that since my wife and I have become medicare eligble we have not had to reach in our pockets for any payments except for a minor (less than $10 Rx copay).

That is over a 15 year period.
Cancer surgery and all post surgery radiation treatments.
Major intestinal surgery.
Cataracts.
Knee repair.

All the lab work including periodic blood testing, MRI, cat scans, etc.

Physical therapy.

Just to name afew.

Having to not pay one dollar for medical events in an aging life is far from crap.
Having complete coverage, 100% of ANY medical need.
And being a user of traditional Medicare with a supplement we are not restricted to any doctor, group of doctors or specialists or hospitals anywhere in the world.

To each his own, however, there has to be some underlying reason to label Medicare coverage as "crap" and that it is insufficient.

I indicated having standard medicare and a suplement.

Between the two everything has been covered.

So my bubble is not burst at all. Totally satisfied that ALL the health care needs are met with 100% satisfaction.

And the supplement is significantly less than what has been stated as paying for non medicare, non crap coverage.

I do not know of anybody that chooses standard medicare that does not also have a supplental policy.

Different strokes for different folks.

Obamacare is collapsing. Insurers pulling out. Cost is astronomical. .......Clinton needs Sanders supporters....Sanders wants everyone on Medicare. 2+2= 4....if you are not satisfied with your Medicare now perhaps it will be better for you when you share it with children of illegal aliens and everyone else....except Congress that is....Elect Clintons and you will find out.

Why don't you visit Trumps website and see what he proposes!
It's all there!

I've read Trump's website. What part of Congress is going to agree with much of anything this guy has proposed?

You stated that you pay nothing out of pocket,
but that is not true, you pay a premium for your supplement,
and you paid for Medicare for years, so you are paying plenty!
You got a weird way of assessing your costs!

Excuse me, I also pay no premium for my suppliment. I have a co-payment, $ 20 for doctor, $30 for specialists. That, in my opinion, is peanuts. Maybe you should look into other plans. I am very happy with mine.

Medicare payment deductions were 1 percent. What was your salary 50 years ago?

Posted by Guest (Post 1274078)

Somebody pays the premium for your supplement and now you do say you have co-pays.
It takes awhile to get the whole story from you!
I paid Medicare deductions for 40 plus years and
they weren't just 1% You exaggerate a lot!

I visit that site often.

He has NOT even come close to offering a plan. He says Congress should come up with a plan.

He offers a few changes already in bill form in congress, which the way it looks he will cause the GOP to lose.

Don't get sucked up in platitudes.

This is not "The Apprentice"...

I'll take that deal. But before you agree, realize I've paid about 300K into it, which invested at the average market return of 8% would double every 9 years. So take the midpoint, 150K, and multiply by 16 for a total return of 2.4 million. Since Medicare pays 80% of approved charges, that's an even 3 million in charges. Still want to make the deal??????
