Medicare takes about $60 a month out of the social security check and MediGap costs less than $200 per month.

But then lefties who hate their country don't need to do the math.

Property taxes cost me $400 a month, even if my income is zero.

Do you hate America?

I should look up MediGap, since I've never heard of it. My father is in his 90's and Mom is in her mid 80's and you're right on with the $60 per month out of SSI....they have a Blue Cross supplemental which has a monthly premium of $396; in the year since I've taken over handling their affairs, the only check I've written to a doctor was their dentist.
