We Need Your Help

First this news item which Corrine found while doing some research. Then my rebuttal.

What A Country

5 million of our older Americans have not signed up yet for their Medicare, Part B, plan because they are old and confused. We are not going to grant them an extension. However, 12 million illegal aliens are in our country and we are going to allow them to stay, protest, procreate, receive support monies, attend schools, avoid paying income taxes, have our teachers take 300 hours of ESL (English as a Second Language) training at our expense, etc.

WE MUST REALLY DISLIKE OUR OLD PEOPLE

OR WE MUST REALLY LOVE TACOS!!!

I'm back. I address this to the author of this item.
First, let me say this. You got a mouse in your pocket buddy? What's this 'we' crap. I didn't make these laws. I didn't set this policy. And neither did Corrine. So don't be coming around these parts saying things like 'We dislike old people", because we don't. If by saying 'we', you mean that you are a part of the institution that did set the policy to operate in this manner, then you need to get you wide ass out of these parts yesterday. You still here?

Corrine and I do not agree with this type of policy. We believe these types of policies are found at the south end of a northbound bull. If you worthless pricks in Congress want to pursue this type of behavior, grow the balls to admit it is your own doing and not the wishes of honest, hard working, overtaxed American citizens like Corrine, myself and everyone else that reads and contributes to this site.

And now that I'm done with my verbal bitchslap, I'm asking for help from all of you readers. Corrine has an excellent idea. We need to do all that we can to keep these government leeches from screwing our parents and the rest of the elderly American public. Corrine has researched this Medicare Part B nonsense and put together a very simple explanation of how it works and how NOT to get screwed. What a sweetheart!

I need all of you to help get the word out. This version is very simple for the elderly to understand. Unlike the government's version, which I believe is written in Martian. How Corrine figured it out is beyond me. So what I'm asking is this. Copy and paste the document below into you Word or Works or whatever word processor software you are using, print it out and hand it to every elderly American citizen you see. Just for a couple of days. It will make a tremendous difference in not only helping our own elderly population, but (and this is my favorite part) screwing the screws that are trying to screw our own people.
Be sure to use a clear font such as Courier or Verdana and a large pitch like 14. Bold helps also. I'm posting it in Courier Bold to show how it will look.

Corrine is a hard working sweetheart with very clever ideas.

And I pushed the button!

UPDATE: This morning I printed up many of these and distributed them at the Post Office. What a great idea, I thought, using a government building to stop the same government from screwing our seniors. The government doesn't seem to care about seniors, only senors.

IMPORTANT MEDICARE NEWS - FREE
The government has changed the rules and made Medicare more confusing for the elderly. Over 5 million seniors have been penalized because of it. Here is a simple explanation of the new rules.This information is free.

When retirement nears, you have to make a decision - whether or not to enroll in Medicare Part B.
That's right -- Part B, which generally covers doctor's visits and other such expenses. It's important to know about that, too, because if you don't sign up when you're eligible, you could face a penalty later on.
And Medicare Part B has a lot of tricky rules. So it's helpful to know the basics:
What Is It? Medicare is the federal health insurance program that generally covers people 65 and older and the disabled.
There are about 41 million Medicare beneficiaries nationwide.
There are two main pieces to Medicare: Part A, which is hospital insurance, and Part B, which is medical insurance.
Medicare Part A: This helps to cover costs associated with hospitalization -- in other words, inpatient hospital expenses. It also helps to cover your expenses for skilled nursing facility, hospice and some home health care.
About 99 percent of Medicare beneficiaries don't have to pay a premium for Part A. That's mainly because they've worked in jobs covered by Medicare, paid Medicare tax and paid the tax for a long enough time.
Medicare Part B: This helps to cover the cost of visits to the doctor's office, lab tests, minor procedures, hospital outpatient services and doctor-administered drugs.
Beneficiaries will generally pay an $88.50 monthly premium for Medicare Part B next year, up from $78.20 a month this year. There are other costs involved, including deductibles.
Eligibility: In general, you become eligible for Medicare -- and your Medicare coverage starts -- when you turn 65.
That's true even though the age at which you become eligible for full Social Security benefits -- "full retirement age" -- is no longer age 65; it's later.
For example, for retirees born in 1940, full retirement age is 65 and 6 months. For those born in 1941, it's 65 and 8 months. (Full retirement age will gradually increase to age 67 for those born in 1960 and later.)
Automatic Enrollment: Here's another twist: Although Medicare is run by the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, you sign up for Medicare through the Social Security Administration. (Medicare premiums are deducted from your Social Security benefits.)
It's possible that you'll be enrolled in Medicare automatically. If you start collecting Social Security benefits early -- at age 62, for example -- or if you've applied for Social Security benefits, the Social Security Administration will send you a Medicare enrollment package three months in advance of your 65th birthday.
That package includes your Medicare card. In other words, there's an assumption that you'll be taking part in both Medicare Part A and Part B when you turn 65, so you'll automatically be enrolled in both. (If you don't want Part B, you must let the government know that you choose to "opt out.")
Other Enrollment Options: If you aren't collecting Social Security benefits when you turn 65, you won't automatically receive a Medicare enrollment package in the mail, and you won't be automatically enrolled.
Instead, you must contact the Social Security Administration to sign up for Medicare. Do this by visiting your local Social Security office. To find the address of an office near you, call Social Security toll-free at (800) 772-1213.
Technically, you may enroll in Medicare at any point during a seven-month window that the experts call your "initial enrollment period." This period includes the three months before the month in which you turn 65, the month you turn 65 and the three months that follow.
But timing is important. If you put off enrolling, you may forget -- and you may be subject to a Medicare Part B penalty later on.
And although you technically may enroll in Medicare at any point within that seven-month window, the sooner you sign up, the sooner your coverage will kick in.
For instance, if you sign up within the first three months of that seven-month window, your coverage will start in the month you turn 65.
But if you sign up later during that seven-month window, your Medicare coverage will be delayed -- by as much as three months.
So your best bet is to sign up for Medicare as early as possible - - three months before you turn 65 -- by contacting the Social Security Administration.
That way, your Medicare coverage will take effect the first day of the month in which you turn 65.
