Finding having Medicare under this loathing person is not good. Are her changes what she is instilling of the Obamahealthcare Act? My health insurance has gone up over $200 yearly under her management….. she calls this changes of good? Guess she has no idea just as all the others of government who get us to pay for their insurance choices of what it feels like to be “taken” and “screwed”!!! And….. not only rise in cost to payees but, less care for you. This is not the only piece of crap of cost rising …. my RX has also risen!!! No explanations!!! Just do what I want to bring down costs and look good!!! No matter you idiots have the audacity to “hand out medicare to anyone and never had to put a nickel into it”!!! May you rot in hell!!!!
