It really irked me when I turned that age that qualified me for all senior discounts, and learned that though I was paying for my own health plan out of pocket, NOW...

Medicare is my primary by law and I never had a choice. And they say premiums will increase. Seniors living on a shoestring have this mandatory medicare payment hanging over their head.

For a healthy senior trying to pay their own way, Medicare is a tax burden mandated by the Feds, not a blessing.
