And now for the last word on insurance:  [Quoted from US News 1/21/85]

  "Starting in February (1985), the nations 30 million medicare recipients
   will be eligible to join prepaid health plans, also known as health
   maintenance organizations (HMO's).  [...] the HMO's will collect a
   monthly fee from Medicare, and in some cases a small premium averaging
   $15.00 per month from beneficiaries, in return for comprehensive
   health services at least equal to those paid for by Medicare.  HMO
   members will receive all medical care guaranteed by Medicare without
   paying the usual hospital deductible or 20% share of medical bills.
   In addition, some HMO's will offer free extras such as eyeglasses
   and prescription drugs."
