Like many recent retirees I received all the gobble-de-gook literature from my and competitive providers. Last year I used the AARP "Secure Horizons" which is a huge plan here in Florida.
I spend a few weeks going over the plan options as enumerated on the Medicare website. I reluctantly chose to retain my (above) plan, even though the costs were going up dramatically. I did so mainly to keep my PCP, who won my loyalty with his and his PA's level of care. I have both high blood pressure and diabetes, which came on while I was a caretaker for my father.
This past Saturday, December 3rd, I received an "open immediately" letter from my provider---which told me---'oh, by the way, two of the meds you are taking are going up a little (must have forgotten to tell me this earlier). Yes, these two out of over ten medications I take for these conditions are going up....ready for this?...$150....per month. I was so stunned and outraged at this last minute "gotcha" that I couldn't get out of my chair. If you live on a fixed retirement income, this kind of news is like being told you are dying, by a doctor who then walks away from you as a patient.
I have some things to do this week: Call Medicare and complain, Call the state and make some noise; go back to reviewing all other, non AARP medicare supplement options; Calling the offices of Marco Rubio and Connie Mack. Beyond that, I have to sit down and see what else I can cut out of my already minuscule budget.
This is ObamaCare. This is "If you are elderly, or retired, screw you!". This is what over regulation does to the voters, many of whom are too stupid to have the right to vote in ANY ELECTION!
I have my work cut out for me today, and my stress level is high. I am very angry, and you, the voter, should be, too. We currently have an administration made up of psychopaths, and you liberal idiots put them in office! It's time for another American Revolution...for the very same reasons we had the last one over two hundred years ago. Nobody should remain a member of the AARP---that organization has shown its true colors, and they are Marxist RED.
God Bless America! God Save America!
