—”If we just treated seniors like illegal aliens, there would be no problems ... everything would be free!”
Well, that one triggered me!
I had (past tense) a gold-plated insurance plan.
I received a notice that my insurance was TOO GOOD and 0bamacare imposed an escalating penalty until it met their standards and the benefits were to follow my wife and I FOREVER. My coworkers said lawsuit!!! That went nowhere.
IIRC I paid over $2,000 per month(pretax),
My hearing aids are massively expensive $10K + but paid for almost everything, not multiple units for each TV/computer.
I’m considered profoundly deaf without the aids, was shot in the face.
Now my insurance pays $1500 per ear.
My audiologist said the VA provides the same unit and the insurance will pay for the adjustments.
My audiologist is in the next suburb, the VA is a hike (I’m a disabled vet and receive a small monthly rebate on my income tax, and license plates are free) and often a day or more waiting. Plus I paid for the insurance for over forty years.
In additional missives from my insurance, I can have a FREE SEX CHANGE, well-baby care...
