Congratulations, you probably have Medicare, which won't be "taken over
by the government," no matter what anyone tells you.

I heard that in one of those town hall meeting on "question" to the
bigwig was a shouted, foaming "I want the government to keep its
filthy hands off my Medicare!!"
Weird way of thinking.
I think the people should be given a real choice.
Some form of health care/insurance reform legislated by the gov by
elected representatives, or the gov should get out of the health
business entirely by killing Medicare.
Give the folks a choice.

Perhaps the shouter you heard about was referring to his Medicare
supplement.
