I've had 3 major surgeries (costs over $50,000 each) and 3 minor

penny after any of them. I figure in the 5 years since I went on
Medicare
the insurance company has paid out at least $200,000. and my premiums
certainly haven't come close to that.

And just who do you think is paying for all of this... the tooth
fairy?

Who the hell do you think you are? Of course I know who is paying for it.
The government thru United Health Care. And, as if it's any of your
business, ***, I worked 45 years and paid taxes on every penny I earned
in
that time.

Of course you paid your taxes and your Medicare payments.
But you listed some two hundred thousand plus expenses as if Medicare
and your insurance is a good deal.

And that's one of the biggest problems with our health care system.
Folks accept this and don't give a second thought as to where the
money is coming from. The Government isn't paying for that... and you
should know better. We are all paying for it.

My wife had two scans at a cost of $6,000 because she complained of a
pain in side. Results... zero.

Our costs keep going up because there is more and more to offer and
until somebody figures that out, it won't stop.

***
I know the costs are rediculous but I consider my insurance a good deal
because I would be broke if I had to pay them. I am paying over $300 a
month with medicare, AARP supplement and Medicare D perscription coverage.

What do you think I should have done - not had carotid surgery that I would
have had a stroke without; or not had back surgery that relieved
excruciating pain; or maybe not had a knee joint replaced.

My apologies, I shouldn't have said that... If you don't understand,
it's not your fault.

Ahhh maybe there is hope for you after all.
But she still shouldn't have to live in pain.

I can't quite figure out what it is I don't understand. Do you know what he is talking about, Evelyn?

He understands that no one likes to talk to him because it's like talking
to a brick wall.
