>> I said I was sure supplemental insurance would still be available.

Right. This great success of a program. So good that more than 80% require OTHER INSURANCE to fill in the gaps for what it doesn't pay.

Yet, it reimburses physicians LESS than any other insurance and STILL manages to drain trillions of taxpayer dollars.

Sounds like a big winner to me!
