I am retired from GE and both my wife and I are on Medicare. Right now, $93.50 is deducted from each of our Social Security checks each month for Medicare. That amounts to $187 per month for both of us or $2244 per year. In addition, we have a supplemental insurance provided by GE to cover some of the stuff the government insurance does not cover. That costs us $208 per month or $2496 per year. So we are currently paying $4740 per year for medical insurance. GE negotiates insurance costs and keeps them low for us but they go up every year. We have already been informed that the deduction from our Social Security checks for Medicare will go up in 2008 as they have in previous years.
As seniors, we see our expenses go up each year as the income remains fixed. This results in what is like a cut in income for us each year. I shudder to think how much of a cut we will take under a Socialist/Democratic administration as they "provide" us with universal health care.

I shutter too. I also get stammering lips but not in a good sort of way.
Remember what happend to Auto liability when it became mandated by the government? It skyrocketed in price.
There is nothing free. If some thinks that Health insurance is free because they get it from the company that they work for, they should not get out of bed in the morning. They are too blind. There is absolutely nothing free. You pay and you pay more when the government gets involved in it.
Under all of these Democrat Health insurance plans including Edwards, Hillary's and Osama's, it will all be government mandated. There is not much difference in either of their plans. A health insurance plan that would normally run five or six hundred dollars a month 80/20 co-pay with drug benefits, will double under a government mandate in a short period of time...just like auto insurance did.
But the unwashed masses that believe their lies will vote for them thinking that they are getting something FOR FREE. Hahaha... The rest of us can only laugh at the duped children following the Pied Piper merrily along.
Don't tell them that there is nothing free. They will think that you are dumb, being the progressives that they are.
