...I am old enough to know and have been on "Medicare" for a number of years....Those years have been
the most expensive medically that I have ever had. Lots of reasons and lots of medical problems. If I had
all the bills for all those problems..(yes serious)..I would have found a way to end the show. The show
goes on, and I am very lucky to be able say that.. I am lucky to be alive.
