Medicare Fast Facts

Medicare covers more than 35 million Americans ages 65 and older and nearly 6 million younger adults with disabilities.

By 2031, the number of Medicare recipients is predicted to rise to 77 million.

The government's 2002 projections show that currently 24% of Medicare recipients have no prescription drug coverage. The rest have coverage through employer-sponsored health plans (32.9%), Medicaid (12.3%), Medigap (14.8%), Medicare+Choice (10.6%), or other supplemental programs.

Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security accounted for 42% of all federal spending last year.

OVER 35 MILLION PEOPLE ALONE ON MEDICARE - AND MEDICARE MAKES ERRORS AND MISSES ISSUES AS WELL AS ANY PRIVATE PAY INSURANCE... How MANY of those people DO YOU THINK... If you think at at all, got a denial? If your still able to think... How many do you think needed LIFE SAVING medical needs? And, if you have not passed out yet... How many people do you think MISSED an tiny ERROR made by the insurance Medicare and never realized it? AS IN THEY FELL THROUGH THE CRACKS!

I know big fucking deal... Well dipstick! One day if YOU are lucky enough to be able to recieve MEDICARE... I wonder if they will DENY your stupid ass also? No, not you? Really...

OVER 98% of the ENTIRE... THIS IS THE ENTIRE WORKING AGED US POPULATION HAS NOT ONE CLUE what they can do in those cases... How much do you want to bet, YOU my bright lightbulbed readers... Falls into the that 2%?

DISABLED IS NOT, I REPEAT... A disabled person is NOT only the person you see now and again who can not formulate words that YOU can understand... They are not just people like me in a wheelchair... How is it people like to think of us? "cripple-ass special olymic retards"
