gridloreAs if having the dentures wasn't enough, today I got notice that I have been enrolled in Medicare.
No, you didn't blink and miss about two decades, It's still 2013 and I'm still 46. But I'm a broken 46 who has been on federal disability and has a long documented history of A. being broken and B. being broke. So thanks to Obamacare, I now qualify for low cost federal health insurance.
I'm so tempted to call the Rush Limbaugh Show and gloat. I am the 47%! I've also informed my mother that I am now the eldest child.
But seriously, this is one of the reasons why I voted for Obama. I, like hundreds of thousands of Americans, am living with the effects or after-effects of a devastating illness. That illness has drastically affected my ability to live a productive and fulfilling life. Medicare will take a little of the burden off, give a slight bit of breathing room.
We need to plow through the various options, especially the prescription coverage in Part D, to see what is right for us. I also need to call my current health care provider to make sure they accept us social leeches.
In other news,kshandra and I have made plans for our 22nd anniversary. We're going to see Metallica. And the Giants. AT THE SAME TIME!!!!! May 3rd is Metallica Day at AT&T, with the band on hand to throw out the first pitch and sing the anthem. The blurb also promises "Metallica-related entertainment" during the entire game. I'm hoping for Seek and Destroy as walk up music. Best part? We're playing the Blue Menace.
BEAT L.A.!!!

Date: 27 Feb 2013 07:57 (UTC)I'm glad you have Medicare, may it do everything it needs to do for you. Big Harold aged into it, and it has been good for him. Deductibles for the Medicare Advantage are higher than his old coverage, but the premiums are affordable. Young me gets to pay $1400/month, he is only $200/month including the Medicare part of the premium.
That Giants game was made for you and Kshandra. May the Giants Beat LA!
Looking forward to the new baseball season, the Giants are looking good.
