I paid for it like any other health insurance. I made a claim for benefits just as I would for private insurance...Where's the hypocrisy in that?
This rationalization betrays your hypocrisy. Medicare is not like any other private health insurance. It is a social safety net for our society's elderly. Any other private health insurance would have deemed you an untenable risk and moved to remove your nonperforming asset off their roles as soon as they could, all the while fulfilling the intention of minimizing any payments for your treatment.
Your documented ideology of denying such a safety net to others in need, while simultaneously using such a safety net for your own potentially life-saving treatment, is the basis of your rank hypocrisy.
Heh! As the kids say, PWNED!!
