That is ridiculous, BG, considering all of the government assistance being paid out. I can see your frustration, but, since medical coverage is definitely essential, not to mention required by law, all you can do is hang in there, and hope we see some much needed changes legislated until your Medicare kicks in.
If we don’t see some changes, I think we’re going to see a whole lot of people between 55-65 in years to come who are financially ruined by medical coverage issues, if they don’t retire with a health plan from their employers.
