    That's all that shows on my card, too... But we also got ourselves a
    Part D drug plan to add to it... If one doesn't get it right when one
    applies for Medicare, the premium can be much more expensive, as there
    is a penalty for not getting it... which gets larger the longer one puts
    it off... There are some Part D plans with very low premiums, and then
    if you do need something later, you've got the plan... and won't be
    charged exorbitant rates for a premium later....

    With the prescription drug plan I have (Aetna, I think), I pay $3
    for each generic, and $6 for each name brand. Thankfully, I don't have that many prescriptions to worry about.

    Sounds like you've got one of the Low Income plans... that's the co-pay
    for that sort of plan... :) And generally those come with the premium
    paid for you as well, and no deductible....

    Not too bad, as long as you are in good shape... :)

    I'm in shape...round's a shape. <G>

    I suppose... ;)

    Nancy,

    Sounds like you've got one of the Low Income plans... that's the co-pay NB>for that sort of plan... :) And generally those come with the premium NB>paid for you as well, and no deductible....

    Considering I get barely over $1000 a month in disability (some
    months, it's rough)...and you've got these greedy Congress folks whining
    that "they can't survive on $175,000 a year". They don't have a clue.

    Not too bad, as long as you are in good shape... :)

    I'm in shape...round's a shape. <G>

    I suppose... ;)

    I believe in the balanced diet...balanced in the belly...and in the
    buttocks. <G> One time, after a stress test, my former PCP quipped
    "You're not in the best of shape. But, for the shape you're in...you're
    in great shape". :)

    He was making the best of a bad situation, I guess... ;) At least you
    managed to survive the stress test... <G>

    Nancy,

    I believe in the balanced diet...balanced in the belly...and in the buttocks. <G> One time, after a stress test, my former PCP quipped "You're not in the best of shape. But, for the shape you're
    in...you're in great shape". :)

    Country singer Dick Feller, who also did "The Credit Card Song" (it's
    cute), and "Biff The Friendly Purple Bear" (it's a tear jerker), did a
    song by that title..."Making The Best Of A Bad Situation".

    I'm not so familiar with country singers... My youngest sister is more
    into that... :)

    ... Did you expect mere proof to sway my opinion?
