I get medicaire statements monthly and they get paid and an aweful lot as they overcharge for their services which then are paid for by those who are working now. I've paid my dues too working as an Rn, secretary a few times. So what are your plans when you retire? As the entire system will disappear. No monthly benefits from all that money you contributed and are contributing now. Do you have lots and lots of money in the bank as you will need it to live. At least we own our home mortgage free. Phillipa ps example $275.00 billed for his office visit and medicaire paid $87.00. And I was billed 17.55. Another office visit $170.00 billed paid $88.00 My portion $17.00. Short visits also. So if people are paying co-pays of $25.00 for a visit what's the insurance company paying? And for those with no insurance at all they pay nothing we pay all.
