I agree. Not much we can do other than empathize. I'm a few years out from Medicare, so just dealing with the HMO for now. At least I know with Kaiser, the transition from individual coverage to Medicare is pretty smooth. All the providers stay the same (but the copays will change). But dealing with insurance and beauracracy is just plain demoralizing. Thank goodness we have understanding family!

And don't even get me started about when they talk about making cuts in "entitlement" programs! Hey, we paid for this. It's not some "freebie!" And on top of that, they try to make us feel guilty for using our benefits?!
