Where is MY money? I was quallified, paid lots of money down, then my company went bankrupt and I lost everything! Can I get in line now? This bumper crop of absolutely incompetent political criminals is costing Americans AMERICA! These rascals are destroying our economy while enriching themselves with our tax dollars. When are we going to wake the hell up?! Time to take away their private jets and their limos! Put them all on a segway! And make them pay for it.

I plan on using Medicare and a gap policy. I find that by fare the most cost effective gap policy is from AARP. Why is do I have to become a member of an organization with social government views to get a good price on my Medicare supplemental insurance? During my career with cooperate America I have found that there is the formal organization and the informal organization. I often found that the informal organization was much more efficient and more effective up to the point of the formal organization stopping their efforts. Are there any possibilities that Heritage Foundation could take on the role of the informal organization on some of the more outrageous issues IE healthcare? Could a branch of Heritage Foundation be set up to: 1) Offer or recommend a competitive market based Medicare gap policy? 2) Offer a, plain old fashion, competitive market based, health insurance policy? (I think this insurance business has gotten out of control. I pay for a dental program that collects $20 from me and pays for my teeth to be cleaned $100 twice a month and a percentage of any other dental work I need. Why can’t I pay for my own health maintenance and have a more reasonable insurance policy for the out of the ordinary which they now call “catastrophic insurance”? And another thing, if the rules haven’t changed in the last few years, why is it that the doctor will charge me more than what they will accept as a payment from the insurance company?) 3) There are probably many more competitive market based entities that Heritage Foundation could convince the business world to get into with the potential customer base of your membership. This could be a real informal movement in the direction of what we really believe in, and your membership could blossom. I am soon to be a Medicare recipient and it scares me.
