Guest guest Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 Greta, I'm not so sure about that. My son is on medicare due to his disabilities. He is the only person in our family on Medicare. If he needs something he gets it. Can't say that about the rest of us.

I delivered a baby ... $10 co-pay..... can you imagine ... $10!!!???? I delivered three babies. My co-pay was zero. My daughters father in law is on kidney dialysis. His co-payments are zero. Our premiums, even in years when we don't have premium assistance, are around $100 per month for the 2 of us. I am in favor of a parallel private system for those who can afford it. I hardly use " the system " but sure appreciate that it is there in case I need it.
