Two o'clock in the morning and can't sleep. So, I get up and fix a cup of decaf and a cinnamon roll. Why not? At this age, I can eat and drink whatever I want at whatever time of day or night it is. Kinda nice being this age.
I had a short visit at an urgent care this evening. My co-pay was $50. You fork it over when you have to. I was sitting and waiting to be called back and a "younger" couple came in and signed in. His co-pay was $10. I was happy for him, but thought to myself, why can't mine be $10. We started talking about various things, insurance, doctors, the norm. He continued to talk and indicated he had a "lot of rental property". So I am quietly thinking, ok, you make good money, you must have good insurance and here I am on disability with Medicare and grateful to have that. Something has to be wrong with the "system" when a disabled senior has a higher co-pay than someone who has more money. Just a thought.
