8. I am 80 and on Medicare

10 yrs ago I had serious Pneumonia, stayed 3 weeks in the hospital, lung had to be scrapped, 5 years ago I developed bladder cancer for which I am still getting treatments. I could never have afforded the care without Medicare. Yes, I have to pay my share, took me 3 years but I am alive and doing everything I want to do. I paint, make miniature furnitue, I sew, go to the beach, going to New york in July. I would be living in a tent today without Medicare.
