Medicare plans throws seniors into puzzling dilemma
This kind of headline gets my "senior" blood boiling. What if this very peculiar Medicare plan was intended for middle aged folks? Would the headline read, "Middlecare Plan throws "middies" into a puzzling dilemma"? Or for the very young? "Pedia-care Plan throws children into a puzzling dilemma"?
No, the inference here is, that somehow, the elderly are at fault for not "understanding" Medicare. Does anyone, young or old, understand the "doughnut hole"? I don't think so!
This just helps to perpetuate the myth that the elderly are somehow less competent...and it is a myth!
