I just paid for some prescriptions I needed yesterday. With my own money.

If you are on Medicare, why pay out of pocket? Medicare requires you to also carry a Prescription plan. If you are not carrying it, you are hit with a monthly penalty that increases yearly. If you later sign up for a prescription play, you continue to pay the the penalty in effect at the time you signed up for the Prescription plan.

If you are on Medicare, why pay out of pocket?

More like I'm losing around, what, 8% of my paycheck for 40 years to pay for SS and Medicare and I'm not on it. And I'm going to turn down something I've been paying for for 40 years (and counting) when the time comes?

Do I have a Stupid sign pinned on my ass?

I’m sorry. I stumbled into a thread for “gimme gimme” supposed “conservatives”. I never should have posted here.

As someone who pays for you, and who also must pay for myself, it’s not conducive to my own health to read these postings of ridiculously entitled people wanting more and more and more from the government and playing the “you want me dead” card every time they must pay for something out of their entitlement check.
