You kids, get off my lawn!
Feb. 9th, 2013 10:57 pmAs 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.

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.!!!
