[QUOTE="muttmeister, post: 497122, member: 135"] star - social security got a cost of living increase this year. I suppose it depends on what mediCARE you're signed up for but there really aren't any limits on your income for that - but there are for medicAID. I find the whole Medicare thing completely confusing and I have to get signed up before next December so I'm going to have to do some studying. All I REALLY know is that with my mother's (she's 97 and been on it for years) she pays so much a month to Medicare which then pays 80% of what she has done no matter how much money she has. Then she pays and additional $250 per month to Blue Cross Blue Shield and they pick up the other 20%. She's had numerous procedures over the years and I think the biggest bill she's ever had to actually pay out of pocket for anything has been around $5. Of course, she also had to have a policy with Humana for drug coverage. I'm relatively young, have an IQ over 140, and a Master's Degree and I don't understand it at all. How is somebody who's really old and confused supposed to figure it out. I think they make it as confusing as possible so it's just that much easier for them to skrew you. [/QUOTE]
