We seniors need to know how much our Medicare will go up. That tiny 1.7% COLA raise half went to Medicare, $40 in you pocket, not enough for a tank of gas. I did my groceries Thursday at the Commissary, as expensive as Kroger’s. No gas points.
Last Christmas it took 10 mins to buy 4 times the points gift cards for 7 grand and 5 great grands along with hubbies. That was $1 off a gallon of gas up to 35 gallons. Had enough points for 2 such fill ups that month. Just buy the straight $ amount, not the credit or Kroger cards. Send the activation code slip with the card. Let them hassle with doing all the shopping.
Cordially,

THE REASON FOR THAT healthcare.gov is a HUGE voter fraud machine----plugging unsuspecting enrollees into Democrat voter rolls.

Local couple upset after receiving pre-marked voter registration card from "Covered California" (Cali O/Care)
10news | 03-29-2014 | Preston Phillips / FR Posted by Kevin in California
A local couple called 10News concerned after they received an envelope from the state's Obamacare website, Covered California. Inside was a letter discussing voter registration and a registration card pre-marked with an "x" in the box next to Democratic Party.
=============================================
BTW, turns out Obamacare is also a vehicle for consolidating Dummycrat power.....w/ a multi-billion dollar slush fund.
The Untraceable $8 Billion ObamaCare PR Budget---truly govt fraud at its finest. Egged on by Pelosi, no one in Congress told Americans about Section 4002---which mandates an $8B untraceable fund to "promote" Obamacare (apparently b/c Boobamba had so little confidence in his signature legislation).
In 2010 Taxpayers are extorted $500 million, in 2011, $750 million, 2012, $1 billion, 2013, $1.25 billion, 2014, $1.5 billion and in 2015 and on, $2 billion........
....the reasons for all those O/Care delays, fixits, exemptions, waivers, extensions, etc, are becoming crystal clear.

The Obama regime has no problem announcing THAT good news before the election but the DISASTEROUS news about the changes in Obamacare costs (which they already KNOW) cannot be released until AFTER the election.
I am living in Northern VA and the commisary is still a good deal. I just moved from NW Washington state and food is way cheaper here than there. The one thing I still get sticker shock from is the current beef prices, but that is bad everywhere.
