It seems I am not eligible for Medicare?

We came to the USA in 2003 and my wife has worked ever since full time, paying large amounts of taxes.

She is 10 years younger than me and I have not "worked" here unless you call raising three children work. Yes, I was a full time house dad - one of very few it appears.

So when I turned 65 I assumed that as in Australia I would qualify for a Medicare type cover.

Not in the backward USA I fear.

I regard this a sex discrimination.

If I am alive when my wife turns 61 I can get some sort of Medicare cover. Not sure about how much or any other details. Probably some Catch 22 will come up. And that is 6 years away.

I tied explaining this to my local Federal Dem rep's assistant but I think she missed the point completely and was rather dismissive.

Trying to contact with a human in the Dept of Medicare proved fruitless.

Am I barking up the wrong tree with this?

I feel we have paid a lot more taxes than most people and should be qualified to get Medicare but the work roles are designed for a patriarchal system only?

Anybody know how to proceed with this?

Are the Iranians prodding for a drumph (over)reaction?

A drumph overreaction is an oxymoron of course.

Dear msnbc

Go f yourselves.

Just how will we trust the next election result?

After this?

The drumph/GOP axis enabled Russia to steal the election. Now they try to cover it up with a pissweak "investigation" that they control.

The msm laps up any drivel spewed by drumph so expect 4 years of conformist reporting.

drumph's attacks on multiple targets go unchallenged. That will likely increase in intensity.

And the worry is any election will be managed by a foreign power that probably has massive intel on drumph and most of his GOP minions.

And the insane crap that fuels the people who voted fro drumph will continue. Fact free media pumping out grotesque rubbish to inflame hatred at any price.

As the work of generations is untangled to suit a ridiculous GOP agenda of negativity.

While drumph grabs as much loot as he can.

Its all too much to expect me to believe we can win again.

Tell me I'm wrong.

1917 Russian Revolution: 2017 Russian Revolution - celebrate with a USA one!

100 years and only the name has changed. Twice.

Will they formally annex us? Not required as they have co-opted all the conformist GOP shits already.

Tater Tot Traitor Trumph

I call him much worse in private but given his penchant for fast food and lies.....this will do.

A noisy inaugeration parade?

Lets get 1,000,000 or more people with cellphones all playing a recording of their own BOOS played on repeat

Point at drumph as he passes, wipe his smarmy grin off his pudgy face.

They can't block phones if playing your own audio direct I would guess.

So drumph sold his shares in June?

Who to?

And IF he did do that did he know that he was going to win as they were rigging the result with various states miscounting etc and with the upcoming Comey event etc - Guiliani knew about that in advance all right.

Its beyond suspicious.
