Perhaps you will say that my health insurance is cheap compared to its obligations. Then let's have that debate publicly instead of the discussion of how I am a public leach sponging off of everybody else's hard work and sweat.

Medicare and Medicaid are two reasons health care costs so much. They add massive overhead and pay the least. You would be doing far better with a private plan and a private pay doctor if the government hadn’t already stuck its unconstitutional nose into all this. You would be able to afford a doctor for office visits and be able to afford major medical insurance.

This is a perfect example of the government screwing up something then providing a useless answer while also claiming things would be far worse without them.

I'm having to sign up for part A now (still work & have health coverage). My blood pressure goes up 200 points every time I have to speak with these gov leaches. What business is my health/health care of the gov????

If these gov basturds told me they were going to keep ALL of the Medcare TAX I paid in over the years & I could opt out of gov health care & they would NEVER contact me AGAIN, I'd get HAPPY DRUNK for a WEEK!!!

If you are taking public assistance in any way, shape or form (medicare, medicaid, Social Security, food stamps, etc, etc, etc.) then your are “a public leach sponging off of everybody else’s hard work and sweat”. If you are not taking public assistance, then you are not. Pretty simple actually.

The fact that you paid for other public leaches while you were working is not revelent, nor will it prevent your “benefits” from being cut off abruptly when the “free obama money” runs out.
