a major illness now for one of us? no problems...once we're on medicare...well, if it's still around, i'll have to make sure we've put enough aside for monthly supplements to that 'wonderful' health from the govt. i'd rather keep my own.

You don't have to take Medicare. Good luck with any insurer, even your current, agreeing to continue to be your primary, however - they'll dump you as fast as they can due to your age. Call them and ask what they will do for you?

So it appears to be in all our interests to expand and improve Medicare.
