(2,091 posts)with brain cancer for two years. He passed in March of 2013. He had Medicare ($104.90 per month) as well as supplementary insurance ($185 per month) through the CT Teachers' Retirement. I have yet to receive a bill for all the doctors appointments and care at the three hospitals he was in, as well as his radiation and stereo tactic procedure. If we had to pay out all the costs for his treatments, we would have had to file bankruptcy. I live in the largest retirement community in Florida and the streets and highways are flooded with every kind of doctor imaginable and they take Medicare. That's why it is so hard for me to understand doctors who won't take Medicare patients. It must still be lucrative for these doctors to accept Medicare or why would they chose to practice in a place where almost everyone is a senior?
