I know we pay that for our Medicare. AND, I have suppliment insurance which runs me nearly 250.00 a month now. Goes up every year. They would love to get rid of me. But, before I would give up my suppliment, I would skip one meal a day. I never pay a dime out in medical bills. But, I wondered if there is a cap that Medicare will pay? Like lifetime max $300,000 or something like that. I will go on line and see. I was self employed. I feel like my whole life, I worked just to keep my husband and I in good health insurance.
