Yes, Rhonda, I have Medicare, but I also have a secondary Medicare 
supplement plan which pays for all my hospital visits and surgeries. 
I have to make a monthly co-payment for medications, and if it 
weren't for those medications, I'd be up all night and all day for 
weeks on end!

Right now I can't sleep because I have an appointment with a 
Rheumatologist at nine in the morning on the seventeenth.

The Giverment gits ya one way or the other, and I call it "giverment" 
because that's what you do. You give, and you give, and you give! 
What about us poor disabled people? Oh well, them's the breaks of 
life in this system of things before the Rapture!

By the way, yes, when my husband was still alive, we did have to pay 
in advance a deposit for surgery in any hospital we went to. 
Sometimes it was a thousand dollars, sometimes fifty dollars, 
depending on the surgery.


LOVE AND GOD'S ETERNAL BLESSINGS,
