On Medicare now, I'm not on Obamacare anymore. I recently had an experience that informed me as to why costs just keep skyrocketing. My GP felt I should go to a cardiologist, since I'm 65, and have myself checked out. I put it off, since I have no heart complaints, but she kept pestering me so I finally went. The cardiologist did an EKG. He said he saw something in it that merited further testing. I consented. They ran $8000 worth of tests and imaging on me. It took a couple of hours. They found nothing wrong. My co-pay with Medicare Advantage was $300. Medicare has paid about $1300. I don't know if they are going to come after me for more, or just keep hitting Medicare. I don't think I'm going to pay if they come after me. I feel that they just tested me to amortize their imaging equipment.
