Hi Leland, The TV is cable only around here, $100 a month. I don't subscribe. I turn 65 in January. When I do the Social Security is reduced by $110 for Medicare part B, and at least $150 more for part D, probably more like $200. Starting from $900 I will have, what, $590? Eventually some of it will be picked up by the *Politburo* and the state Medicaid, but I don't know how much, or when. February is going to be a *very* lean month, and maybe March. The idea seems to be that I will die in a month and then they don't have to pay me any more. If I don't die in the transition period I will have "insurance", but I will have no money to pay the deductible and co-pays which you have to pay, first, before the "insurance" kicks in *anything*. A useless-to-me benefit which I am required to have, and pay for! The programs that formerly supplied my meds will not supply them any longer. One way or another I am about to join Kristyne among the diabetes deceased, unless a miracle happens. So, I broom the paper, stop using my truck, walk everywhere I can and use the bike where walking is just too far. The truck got 13 MPG on gas, but Charlie Crist decreed that gas could no longer be sold in Florida. The truck only gets 11 MPG on ethanol. The bike gets about 68 MPG but it is quite slow (around 60), and since it is new it has a payment on it. So with less gas and no paper, but deducting the bike payment I make up the Medicare part B but I still have to eat the part D and the deductibles and co-pays. My advice to everybody, make sure you are damn f*cking rich by the time you are 65 because Uncle Sam has a nasty surprise for you. Social "Security" my a55. "They" wouldn't even tell me all of this - kept referring me to others who wouldn't tell me either, and I have been asking for 6 months. You get a computer generated notice *a*month* before they do it. In person they haven't got the pair it would take to level with you. You "can't" get food stamps to fill in the gap. The food stamp lady told me to hang out at the private charity "food banks", never mind that I'm diabetic. This is after I have worked for 56 years and paid every tax I was required to pay. -- Regards, Pete http://pete-theisen.com/ http://elect-pete-theisen.com/ _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
