First with my father who suffered from Parkinson's disease and various heart ailments, and many hospitalizations before his death. Then with my husband who suffered from end at age renal disease, which no insurance will cover except Medicare, and now with myself and many friends, who are all elderly.
I'm very familiar with what it does and it is by far the best health care coverage out there. I was always and am confident in care and coverage under Medicare. I had a very bad and costly experience with Medicare Advantage which is actually private insurance but I won't go into that here. Even with it's gaps in coverage, it's much better than any insurance or nothing, which is usually the case with insurance. You might as well not have nothing.
