My doctor prescribes three tests a day. I order 300 strips every three
months, through my insurance company. Between Medicare and the
insurance, my cost is zero, delivered to my door.

That's the nice thing about Medicare. In a few months, I will qualify.

I hope whatever the gubmin does doesn't screw it up.

Theyve decided to let time take its toll on the publics outraged response:
shelve the legislation until after december.
Typical ploy: delay tactics.
