It is amazing...then, if you ever get alllll the way down to their private insurance policies, you find that they are nothing like our generation's insurance policies...they actually pay for stuff and have low deductibles!

I try not to get too bitter about it, though, because their great coverage means we don't go bankrupt trying to help them: we're very lucky for that (although eldercare is a whole other ball of wax)...

It just kills me to see all of these young people begging on GoFundMe just to afford insulin -- and dying! Over insulin! -- while it's stockpiling pretty nicely in Medicare-recipients' closets thanks to overzealous pharmacies that know Medicare will pay for whatever they keep shipping, and seeing young people cobbling together their own makeshift slings for broken bones while so many nonagenarians are technically part-robot thanks to Medicare's great coverage.
