My rent was recently reviewed and it was then I found out that people who are "able" enough--like the ghetto mothers that have kids just to get more money--now have to volunteer somewhere a certain amount of hours a month in order to keep their apartment. I think she said around 50 hours a month, but don't quote me. This is in Missouri. Other than that and my rent going down a little bit-yaaaay!--nothing had really changed. And medicaid does cover all my meds now--except for the .50 -$2.00 co-pay, so a Medicare card does nothing for me. My pharmacy gives me a 15% discount too. I did hear about the increase in medicare payments. I have part A but I guess the payment will go up to that $70 some odd dollars. Will negate any "raise" I might get. Thats all I know!
