I get mad over being required to use Medicare. I wouldn't even complain
about their charging me each month, if they would allow me to have my own
private insurance. Today I paid a bill of $89 for a procedure on a bill of
$175. If I were allowed to only have my own private insurance, I would have
paid $35, as it was previously to medicare.

Not only does medicare take out money each month, but they will disallow
certain procedures, thus my own secondary insurance will not allow it, and
it will have to go up on appeal if I want any of it paid. This indeed is a
PITA.

I have been wondering lately what medications are "made in China." I would
also wonder about mail order if I were coerced to use it.
