My only complaint about Medicare - as a taxpayer - is that it is far too generous. I know of no procedure it will not cover.
I speak from some experience since I just finished a rather lengthy series of procedures at Duke for which my total copayment came to less than $1200.
Cost of gas for my gluttonous Silverado for the 720 mile round trips to Durham probably came close.
This is troubling to me because sooner or later we are going to have to deal with the issue of rationing, and with the cost of heroic measures to keep the near-dead alive for a few extra weeks. Death panels, though I'd prefer to call them something else.
