I know people post about this every
so often, but I did it today.
I went to Shopko to renew a prescription. I have Medicare D. I wish they would pay more for me, but I have the best plan I could find. A woman was there ahead of me, also a Medicare recipient. The woman was complaining loudly about the cost of her meds, and refusing to listen carefully to any explanations the employees were trying to give her. The poor pharmacist and pharmacist's assistant were trying to urge her to call her Medicare D provider. The assistant also said something about what did people do before Medicare, how hard it must have been for them.
She said, "It's because of that Obamacare Crap. The price of everything has gone up because of him. Obama is so full of shit."
I spoke up and told her that she had Medicare, not Obamacare, that they are two different programs. She said they were not, and that Obama was at fault. I told her to check with her provider about her deductible and co-pay, that I was a Medicare recipient, too. I told her that she did not know what she was talking about. I said, "I think we all know who is full of shit around here."
She stalked away.
I did some more shopping and came back for my prescription. The ladies told me that they were glad I spoke up. One of them told me she had to go to the back and turn around so that the woman would not see her laughing.
No one else saw this, but it made me feel good to say something. I hope she goes home and wonders about the difference between Medicare and Obamacare. I wonder how stupid she will feel when she finds out what a dumb ass she is.

Thank the Tea Party for making sure the Govt. would keep their hands off of Medicare!!
