BUT, back to the main theme of this article: How many FReepers pay $1,200 a year for their medical insurance? Probably some do; likely most do not. I am not complaining about paying for my health care - I voluntarily and happily pay the premium...

Your premium nowhere covers the cost of the coverage. In fact, I've read that Medicare recipients, between payroll deduction and premiums, cover only 25% of the cost of the insurance.

I could search for it, but I'm lazy...

Actually you don't know about my premium vs costs... I might not be costing them anything. Besides, as I keep saying, I turned the administration of my Medicare costs over to a private insurance company; if they are losing money then they should get out!
