The doctor we will go

I went to the Doctor today. My doctor moved out of town so I had to go to a new one. Same old story. I need blood pressure bills and a pill for my heart! The new Doctor wrote me orders for a year's worth. Which is what I wanted but there is a catch. I had to let her draw blood which is a bigger bill.
She said I will give you your orders if you let me draw blood which is what I did. Cost 104 dollars and 70 cents.
I have Medicare part A and B. Now part A is free but I have to pay 78 dollars a month for part B. Which is blue cross in our state. Guess what part B will not pay for me because they say I still have Tyson Insurance. Which I don't.
A year ago I spent 12 hours calling this government no. Trying to straighten this out. All you get is a machine.
I could cancel part B and save 78 dollars a month but that blue, red and white card will get me in a hospital if I ever have to go. So I pay even if they wont.
This insurance will pay for 6 month hospitace care if I get in such a shape that I can't care for my self. If I get in that shape I don't want my children having to take care of me so I pay. I figure if it comes to that they will pay.
The Doctor said if they found something nasty in my blood work she would call me, I said I may tell you I'm not home.
I know that this is the Bush plan to save money by refusing to pay mine and other old age peoples bills so they can save big business money.
Who saves you ask?, Blue Cross saves. The government saves and the doctor got my 104 dollars and 70 cents. And mean while they continue to collect 78 dollars from the dummy. Me!
AT LEAST I HAVE MY PILLS FOR ANOTHER YEAR, MAYBE I WILL NOT NEED ANOTHER YEAR. If I DO I PROBABLY WILL HAVE FIND ANOTHER DOCTOR.
I think I will write Hillary Clinton about this, I can give her some thing to use against the grand old party.

Oh, my. Something simply has to be done about health care. Have you gone to the Social Security office to try to get everything straightened out? I have found them to be very helpful, at least here in Harrison.
