I have Medicare. Been on it for 10 years when I was 43 due to kidney failure. I also have VA which I dont use because of Medicare. I’d be screwed because my transplant failed and the last four years I’ve been dealing with congestive heart failure and dialysis. My life should suck but I have a great family and a very supportive wife who quit her job four years ago to take care of me.
If you can get Medicare then I highly recommend it. I think I pay about 200-300 per month for it and have had millions of dollars worth of medical bills but Medicare shaves them down to about $20k. I’m slowly trying to work through them on a fixed income but my hospitalizations occur faster than I can get them paid for. Shoot, just my dialysis is $600/month but it’d be many thousands without it.
Medicare has definitely been a lifesaver for me. My private insurance yearly increase went from $1700/month to $3500/month right before I was approved for Medicare.
