OK I finally got to get into this. I am a veteran who can get health care from the VA but as said, they are 140 miles from here. So, when I am feeling bad I can drive 280 RT to see a doctor at $3.15 a gallon would take 14 gfals of gas in my auto or $45 just for gas. The prescriptions I get are $8 per scrip per month.( take 6} so that 48$. Walmart sells them at $4 a month or $11 for a 3 month supply. Now I am on medicare so I get free healthcare (only costs 98$ per month) and have a medicare supplement that costs me 195$ per month to cover what medicare doesnt. So really I pay $293 dollars a month for health care. 1 Person. Double that because I am married to a medicare wife. I have had the best health care of my life since 65. We have needed 11 surgeries in the last 8 years between us. But-----if you are on medicare read your bills. The doctors gets very little compared to the hospitals. A one day cancer surgery for my wife paid the doctor who did the work about 1200 dollars and the hospital got $21000 for a one nite stay. and supplying the equipment.The doctor has to maintain his own office and staff and keep records and file claims etc. That the problem. In the old days hospitals were community owned and provided service to the people of the community. Nowadys most hospitals are owned by large FOR PROFIT companies and will do just about anything to make a buck. The administrator and company exec's make horrendous salaries at the expense of others misery. Think about it. JAck

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo. ... [Read Article]
