“new” medicare

In the USA a new “program” has taken hold to replace an older one that was not broke but .. Our president George W. said it was broken and this program would run outta money soon. Well
in planetary terms maybe.. in terms of a large tree maybe.. in terms of our solar system maybe.

the *new* medicare Plan (D) .. is suppose to make perscription drugs cheaper.

Anyways this *new* program was suppose to make thing cheaper for the persons on this Program … indeed if you scratch the surface of this program. It looks like your saving something but the savings only come at a cost.. You have to be healthy.

as in no problems no colds no nothing. Once you are sick your cost start to go up. and certian medications are not covered.
So Initailly what i used to pay was 80$ month for medicare. now i pay 54$ a month for it. but heres where they get you. before there were no Co-Pays. co-pays are basicly where they charge you a small amount of cover the cost of there programs.

But heres where people get screwed by this new program
say you are paying 70$ for this new medicare , and you have 5perscriptions a month . now the copay on each drug can vary .. so depending on things you could pay 5 dollars saving you 5 dollars or the likely which you would pay 15$ which your over the original plans 70$ .. and also that doesnt cover the doctors appointments and such where you’d just go right over the old value .. ALSO… there is a chance by the new plan, one of those perscriptions is not covered where it used to so say you would have to pay anywhere from 40$ to 200$+ on a perscription that used to becovered
and also , the horrible thign i’ve noticed is these newer drug plans, is you have to pay out of pocket where before this Plan was deducted from your check from ssay retirement or whatever you maybe on so what happens to all the old people and young people for that matter that have things on there mind and they forget to pay because it was automated before, the US gov had also gone out on a PR campaign saying this was the best thing since sliced bread showing docters and reporters and citizens saying this was good what the US gov forgot to mention was..
ALL people in this commercails were ACTORS. and In no way did they go out of the way to say they were actors.. so WTF..
THis new GOV health care thing is a joke.. =(

Hi there…

hrm… mike gave me the authority to write here as i wish, so i guess i shall!

uhm… hi everyone, i am his friend in some kind of a warped internet world, called lineage 2. i do crazy things like eat alliance members, eat friends, and then store their brains into the fridge. i break my boyfriend’s penis on a daily basis, and is very very insane.

on my normal days, i attend a college-cum-uni thing, and work in a restaurant that is both my joy and my source of fatigue. i enjoy taking pictures, playing with paper products, surfing the webs, create unimaginable typos and write crazy stuff anywhere and everywhere.

On the way to the Winery area

i am presently in australia, which is the best place on earth… but that’s coming from someone who has only been to myanmar otherwise. i am originally from singapore. i am only studying here for the time being.

Singapore high Commission

i love to eat…. and i love asian food the most (duh) and steaks…. and mushroom sauce on steaks.

job-interview

Philadephia

On dec, 11th I headed off on a trip to philadelphia, Having not gone there before i did not know what to expect. also the key point of the trip was to visit my friends from sweden.

the morning on the 11th started with me staying up all night and getting ready for this trip (also sneaking a bit of lineage 2 in) I packed a few days of clothes and headed out to breakfast at 5am not finding a place to eat, i ended up at Dunkin Donuts.

The bus trip was long but peacefull +++MP3 for the win, almost 7 hours on the bus and 2 movies on the way to Philadelphia.

finally after short Cab ride and finding the hotel, at the lobby i relized something I had forgot how to spell my friends last names (sorry pete). after a short phonecall and a few msg’s from MSN I got that straightened out. So Finally I got to meet Peter and his wife Anna, We has met the previous year in New York city but the trip was shorter than short due to delays. this trip Definantly made of up for New York since we made up every square inch of philly and had some hella fun doing so.
