Medicare doesn't cover everything. You may want supplemental and long-term care coverage, too.

"What If" Mitt Romney, and Paul Ryan, WIN the Presidential Election in November 2012? Their plans for Medicare scare me. At the same time, Medicare is reportedly on an "Unsustainable" spending pattern as the Baby Boom generation retires. In any case, our Health Care expenses could very well be even MORE than this article outlines.

These people are paying over $9,000 a month in insurance premiums and that doesn't even cover out-of-pocket medical expenses (because their deductible is too high), co-pays and over-the-counter meds. They are paying a lot for nothing! They have expensive insurance but are not getting any actual health care. The insurance companies are shaking down people for high premiums and not providing a service. That's FRAUD. The only thing wrong with American health care is insurance. We need to go directly to the health care providers and bypass greedy insurance companies.
