The Med Racket
A few weeks ago I hastened to the ER with what proved to be atrial fibrillation. I spent the night in the ICU. Now the bills are flowing in.
I have Medicare parts A and B, Blue Cross supplemental, and Medicare Part D drug coverage.
Today I got a terrifying sheaf of statements from Blue Cross, telling me this and that aren't covered, even though I have all the coverage money can buy. I quake when I think of the hole this will put in my retirement funds.
The whole system seems to be a racket, with various insurers, drug makers, and suppliers gouging what they can from it. I may vote for the Libertarian candidate, just because the Democrats and Republicans are both complicit in creating a monster scam that bleeds citizens out of all they possess.
The best way to resolve the problem is for Congress to enact Medicare Part F-- a suicide pill.
