public program ,medicare, is supported by higher insurance payments to others who use the same hospitals , doctors, it subsidizes those using medicare. it is bull that the va is the terrific operation loved by patients. try to get a call through at local va hospitals. try to get prescriptions filled. they are under staffed , phones go busy for the longest times or unanswered according to a few old vets i know. how about the military health plan that cannot take care of independents and they send them to private doctors or hospitals off base. there are many articles about the poor care the military get. lastly, people in medicare are scared because obama plans to pull 500 billion out the program. the program continues to cut costs and avoid payments for procedures now. i tried to get a shot that was covered last year.. this year not covered. another friend needed something else covered last year, not covered this year. we know about these items as we run up against them. my private plan cost me less than medicare and supplement but i had no choice and was thrown into medicare.
