Heavenly Father,

Please take complete control of this financial situation, and show Pat what 
to do.  Help us to always remember that You created those people who are in 
government or any other positions of authority, just as surely as You made 
us, so You are in control, even if it seems You're not!

thank You Lord, in Jesus' Name, amen!

> In 1977, I got on SSDI. In 1979, Social Security offered me Medicare. I

> insurence, and I didn't think I needed Medicare. Big mistake. In 2001, I 
> found out that I would be penylized ten percent, for every year I did not

> They are taking over $300.00 out of my SSDI check for Medicare. We just

> We even went threw Verizon, which use to be G T E, where Vernon worked. 
> They were too lazy to do anything about this, and all we wanted them to do 
> is look up the records, to prove that Vernon had health insurence coverage 
> for both of us, and that I was on his plan. They didn't do anything. They 
> wanted to lie to SSA, and tell them that Vernon started working there in 
> May of 1999, or something weird like that, and we would not do that. I 
> told them that I'm not lying to the SSA at all. We didn't either. I'm so 
> upset about this, and I don't know what to do now. Do I get a lawyer? It 
> would cost me a lot of money in lawyer fees.
>
> Please pray for me, that God will show me how to handle this situation, 
> and how to get it reversed. Then, I would like to make them pay me back

> Your prayers and advice is much appreciated.
