ODG, if you want my Medicare, please take it.  No decent doctor will take Medicare, so I private pay, plus $507 per month for Medicare, plus $68 per month for drugs, plus $173 per month for supplemental.  I don't even bother with dental or eyeglass coverage because it is cheaper to just private pay for those two.

+ 1 I'm not Medicare age yet, but I find the same with "regular" health insurance. In fact, I've found that it's better to just self-pay than to put things through insurance. There are many instances where the "negotiated" rate with insurance is higher than if you just paid cash. In the meantime, though, my insurance carrier still gets $800 a month.

What a scam the whole thing is - and a big win for insurance companies. First, people are required to buy insurance. Second, for those who can't afford to pay the high premiums, the insurance companies get the money via taxpayer subsidies. And third, the cost of medical care and deductibles, even with the insurance, are so high that people end up paying out-of-pocket anyway.

Looks like the pay-offs from the insurance companies to politicians - both D and R - was money well spent. They're laughing all the way to the bank.
