MEDICARE - A JOKE?

Medicare Part D, Prescription Drug Coverage

Lest you think that our “elected officials” aren’t actually looking out for us – the unwashed taxpayers – carefully study the laws our “elected leaders” have recently passed for these wonderful benefits designed to help us, the public, called the Medicare Part D, Prescription Drug Laws!

After reviewing these Prescription Drug coverage laws you will soon see that our lawmakers apparently have vested interests in ensuring that pharmaceutical and insurance companies become very wealthy; maybe the Oil Companies aren’t donated enough anymore. Anyway, everything in these new laws is designed to ensure that by the time you die these companies – and the U.S. Treasury – will have most of your money; all the money you’ve worked for and saved! It’s kind of the reward you get for working hard, paying into Social Security and paying your taxes for the past 45-50 years! Yep, these laws are kind of like our Government saying, “Thanks, you suckers!”

This is the cool part, these companies have “plans”, many plans, and within these plans are “tiers”, exceptions, and a host of other “but we won’t do this” kind of legalese. Then, when you are about financially even, when you almost got your prescriptions at a discount, they stop coverage. But you’ll still have to pay them their membership fees, etc. This is required to make sure these companies will get their inflated profits and thus ensure a better America!

Now don’t worry, they also passed a law that takes the pressure off you while you’re trying to select a suitable plan, one from the hundreds they offer. If it takes more than 30 days for you to decide you’ll get to be penalized with a penalty fee for not signing up earlier! Nope, you’re wrong, it’s not illegal to be bullied by these Mobsters, oooops, I mean Companies, into quickly giving them your money. It’s only against the law to be intimidated by companies, like this, if you don’t have elected officials passing laws making it legal to bully and intimidate citizens.

However, one good side, if these companies have too many drugs in their warehouses and can’t get rid of them – you’ll probably be able to get them relatively cheaply. But remember, if you must take specific drugs that will actually prolong your life – it will cost you a fortune – remember; if you want a long life it will cost you! Well, if you’re not an elected official it will cost you, that’s why it’s good to be an elected official!

Now, our elected officials got even smarter, at the end. They even passed a law making it illegal for them (the Government) to be allowed to negotiate with these companies for lower drug prices, etc. Yep, they’re off the hook now, completely, by law they can’t get involved anymore! You’re on your own, Sucker!

Now, why were these laws passed, that’s simple, these companies required our elected officials to pass these laws or they wouldn’t offer our elected officials the fantastic health benefits packages they (and their families, for life) get – for nothing! And, loyalty being what it is, don’t forget, these companies “donate” a hell of a lot more money to our “elected officials” than do you!!! Realistically, you only actually do something for our elected officials once every 4 years, or so, by electing them; Hell, what do they really owe you!

Solution:

The only real solution to this dilemma, and other Government problems, is to demand “limited terms” for our elected officials. This may even allow for an honest, moral person to be elected once in awhile. God only knows what this might eventually do to/for our country!

Or, another way to get around these medical problems would be to get into a Medical School after retiring and become a Doctor. It might take less time, money and effort than you'll have to expend going through all the Insurance Plans, Doctor Participation Verifications, and other research requirements. Remember the code: "Citizen, heal thyself!"

Or, get elected to Public Office - House or Senate - they get (essentially) free medical care for life - once elected - paid for by us while giving themselves salary increases.
