I just turned 65 years old and was able to purchase gap-insurance at a reasonable price from 3 months before my birthday until 3 months after my birthday without a physical exam. What a good feeling to know I'm covered! <br /><br />Before that I was enrolled in Medicare/Medicaid with a large spend- down. If I had become sick or had heart surgery the first day, my Medicaid would not have kicked in until the next day AFTER I met my spend down amount. Think how much that could have been! I am a person with a low income because of disability and have no way to pay for medical treatment. . I'm so, so glad I'm 65 years and have gap-insurance now. <br /><br />Older People in the US should not have to live under those terrible pressures. Ironically, the poor medical care in the US puts more stress on my heart and makes me even more disabled. Why should we older persons have to put up with these terrible situations? Where are our human rights to decent health care in old age?Ann from Indiananoreply@blogger.com
