It is that time of year when all the insurance companies are drooling over new meat they can get their hooks in. Yes it has been open enrollment since October and they extended it to January!
I cannot begin to tell all the various insurance agents who contacted me. On a daily basis I am estimating ten to fifteen. Wow! These guys are hungry!
They just want you enrolled. When I tell them I use Holistic Medicine and preventative medicine, they then try to talk me into a good Dr. who will help me find the right medicine. Some even get angry because I am not taking prescriptions. With that being said, did you know the government penalizes us for never using prescriptions. Yes, that is correct. If we have never needed prescriptions we have to pay a monthly fee to our insurance company for the rest of our lives. Someone, please explain tyo me how that is fair? I have thought about this and turned it around in my mind every way I can ... still, I cannot make sense out of this entire mess.
If I need many kinds of prescriptions I can get a D plan. If I am healthy and do not need prescriptions I am penalized. Let me just get this straight... If I am not going to be sick you charge me extra money per month. For what? For breathing? If I am sick and need many medications you gleefully accept me in any insurance plan! So, am I to be rewarded for slowly dying??? Is this how we have population control in the United States? None of the medicare benefits make sense. At least, not common sense. All in all there is a lot of money to be made on Seniors in the U.S. just from medical alone. We the people are walking around with a price on our heads and are not even aware of this phenomenon.
Don't we just feel secure knowing our Hefty bag is coming in the near future.?
