I was on my wife's Mail Handler's plan when I became eligible for
Medicare. The cost was about the same. The Mail Handler folks
suggested I keep theirs *and* sign up for Medicare - pay twice in
other words. I ended up going with Medicare, without the Mail
Handlers. Luckily, my military service entitled me to Tricare, which
becomes a supplemental to Medicare and picks up the left over 20%.

Of course, this makes some here jealous as hell. Sorry about that.


I'll worry about it when I get a bit closer. Won't be rocket science
figuring it out.
Two insurance carriers reminds me of something.
A while back - probably the '70's - somebody told me he got paid twice
for his medical care for an injury. His insurance and his wife's.
Back then med insurance was a common free work bennie and I guess they
didn't even cross-check the coverages.
Of course back then there was usually only one breadwinner too.
We've come a long way baby!

Yes it will be rocket science figuring it out!

It will seem as if every insurance company in the world has been
waiting for you to hit 65 years old. You'll hear from companies you
didn't know had anything to do with insurance, all trying to sell you
supplements to your Medicare. It's hard to find any good advice,
because everyone is pushing their own product.

Seems as though Sen. John McCain can't take the same exact crap that the
conservatives are dolling out in droves at town hall meetings. He held
one, and ONE protester started yelling. He had the protester thrown out.
But it's just great is there's a liberal speaking and 20 or so
conservatives do exactly the same thing!!!
Conservative = good
Liberal = bad

Let the spinning begin!

Yeah, yeah, yeah.... And a democrat office was trashed the other day
damn republicans.. Oh wait, turned out it was another shill who had run
a dem campaign and was very active in the dem party, trying to set up
the dems for sympathy. The cops busted him, and are looking for an
accomplice... This is how they work.. Like I said, this is not the first
time a dem has played a repub to try to push their own dishonest
agenda...

spin, spin, spin......

Yeah, but last week when it was repubs yelling at dems you had no
problem calling them names and complaining cause they wanted a say too..
You are too much man...


They didn't want a "say". They didn't want answers. They wanted to
disrupt. Now, McCain throws people out for doing such. If a democrat had
done the same thing, you'd be crying foul and you damned well know it.

How do you know what they want? And please be specific. Why can't you
understand that folks with opposing points of view are not all liars or
dishonest? Please answer these for my Loog...

Never, EVER said that people with opposing points of view are all liars
or dishonest. Again the point is if a conservative does something,
you'll make excuses (see above) for them every single time. If a liberal
does the EXACT same thing (see above) you'll call them unpatriotic,
disruptive, thugs, and on and on.

This whole conversation started because one side had some old ladys
yelling at a meeting and another side bussed in racist Union thugs who
beat a black man for selling buttons. I hardly consider that "EXACT same
thing" do you?

Taking guns to town hall meetings involving the President is akin to two
old ladies yelling?
