I am on medicare also because I'm on disability. But I have an HMO instead of medicare paying for my stuff because it is better insurance plus I get a bunch of other things like contacts, hearing aids should I ever need them, free medicine like cough drops and stuff like that and some other things also. I also have medicaid to pay for what the HMO doesn't pay.

I remember the days of having no insurance or having medicaid as my insurance. Here in Arkansas you can only go to the doctor 12 a year on medicaid and with my low immune system I go to the doctor a lot more than 12xs a year so ended up with a huge bill. I ended up declaring bankruptcy as soon as I got my disability.
