I finally picked up mail from my address in Arizona. These are the medical bills that have been piling up since May. It’s not as bad as it looks because most of them are just monthly demands for payment of the same charges. And most of the charges are less than $100. Understandably, Tucson Medical Center and UCLA Health want some four-digit amounts from me. Thanks to Medicare, my portion is just a fraction of the nearly $100,000 total. My out-of-pocket share is far less than premiums I would’ve been paying a regular insurer, and probably less than the deductibles said insurer would have me pay. So hurray for socialized medicine, y’all.
I'm sure you payed your fair share over the years !But thanks for the message of gratitude .and thanks for your blog ,I enjoy reading about your day to day living large on a very small foot print.Fair winds and health
ReplyDeleteDo you pay an additional premium monthly to Medicare?
ReplyDeleteJust the usual monthly Part B thing.
DeleteI'm confused as to what's not covered.
DeleteNotice Bernie Sanders did not go to Cuba for the free hospital care.
ReplyDeleteWithout the Medicare supplement there are copays up to “no limits”. I here supplement F or G are the best at rendering 0 Copays.
