Mediare part A is medical insurance and all you are required to have, and it is free. You see that part pays the hospital when you arrive in the ER near dead so they can perform a million tests, poke you and prod you and hook you up to machines once you are unconscious. There you will die a painful, horrible long death. It is where....wait for this, it is VERY important, YOU WILL SPEND 25% OF YOUR LIFETIME MEDICAL COVERAGE! That's right boyz and girls, this is how hospitals make gazillions of $$$ on Part A. Each Gomer pays hundreds of thousands of $$$ to the hospital WITHOUT CHANGING THE OUTCOME AT ALL. In other words, you are still dead.
