why medicare will go bye-bye
LIKE EVERYBODY, I'M IN VOGUE BECAUSE I HAVE A CPAP MACHINE FOR SLEEP APNEA. I DON'T HAVE THE NOSE MASK BECAUSE I CAN'T KISS MY WIFE WHILE TRYING TO STAY ALIVE FALLING ASLEEP. I HAVE THE NEW ONE THAT FITS IN THE NOSTRILS.
THERE IS A RUBBERY THIN BAND THAT FITS AROUND THE HEAD TO HOLD THE APARATUS IN YOUR NOSE. THIS BAND STRETCHES AFTER CONSTANT USE AND BECOMES USELESS. SO I WENT TO THE HOSPITAL GOODIE SUPPLY STORE TO GET A REPLACEMENT BAND. WELL, THEY DON'T SELL REPLACEMENTS. THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN GET A NEW ONE IS TO BUY THE WHOLE NOSTRIL SET-UP. THIS 5 CENT PIECE WAS NOW GOING TO COST $217.00.
AS THE INTELLIGENT, GUM CHEWING, BUXOM, SUPER INTELLIGENT CLERK REMINDED ME, "WHY SHOULD I CARE, MEDICARE PICKS UP THE TAB". NOW, I'M NOT THE ONE TO WASTE $216.95, SO I FOUND A PLACE THAT GAVE ME ONE AT MY PRICE. ZERO.
I WONDER HOW MUCH MEDICARE IS WASTED EVERY DAY? NEVER MIND, I CAN JUST IMAGINE.
