Then you're covered by Medicare. I spend a few $thou a year on Medicare part B (covers treatment that doesn't require hospitalization) and Supplemental (private insurance that covers the "co-pay" which isn't all that big anyway). The biggest expense is drugs - costs about $3,000 a year. With Part D (drug coverage) I'm pretty much guaranteed that whatever meds I need won't cost more than that. (And things have gotten better since Congress allowed Medicare to negotiate prices with the drug manufacturers.) -- I do so have a memory. It's backed up on DVD... somewhere...
