“Remove the waiting period! A 65 year waiting period has to be the longest waiting period for health insurance ever devised by man.” says Joe Sixpack
“Not only is it the longest waiting period known to mankind, it requires decades of prepayment to the tune of hundreds and thousands of dollars before coverage ever begins!” says his friend Bruno.
“And, to top it off, such a long waiting period before coverage begins doesn’t comply with the Affordable Care Act!” says the bar maid………………
“Bring us another round Mary…………………………….” says Joe
“Wait! Can’t you see I’m busy!…….Patience is a virtue!
What’s the problem? Medicare is a Premium Paying Policy that eventually morphs into a Claim Paying Policy. If you die first you can’t collect later. The best news is, if nothing kills you first, the coverage is better than most employer sponsored health plans. Low deductible, low co-insurance, never a balance bill, universally accepted. You can’t beat it. Be happy.
