PS-I actually thought that paying into Medicare for 50 years meant that my healthcare and prescriptions would be covered after I retired. HOW WRONG I WAS!

A perfect example of why Medicare Supplemental Insurance is an absolute necessity. I fully expect the list of items “Not Covered” to grow at an increasing rate. Expanding that list is more “politically palatable” because no one will notice until THEY need that particular test, and in most cases, these changes can be done at the administrative level without a change in the law.
