- PBS Bedlam VIDEO In an effort to get to the bottom of the current mental health crisis in the U.S., psychiatrist and documentarian Kenneth Paul Rosenberg M.D. chronicles personal, poignant stories of those suffering from mental illness, including his own family, to bring to light this epidemic and possible solutions. Shot over the course of five years, Bedlam takes viewers inside Los Angeles County’s overwhelmed and vastly under-resourced psych ER, a nearby jail warehousing thousands of psychiatric patients, and the homes — and homeless encampments — of people affected by severe mental illness, where silence and shame often worsen the suffering.

I have been trying to get a Medicare supplement for two years. NO one will give me one. I get denied for anything, for an H. Pylori infection. Every company I apply with denies me. I was born in 1957 and have Medicare but no company will give me a supplement. They all want to give me prescription drug plan while denying the medical plan. I live in California.
How about Medicare Advantage at the next Open Enrollment? Medicare Advantage is guaranteed issue, while Medicare Supplements where you can go to any doctor or hospital that accepts Medicare is not. Check out our page on when Supplements are guaranteed issue. See also the subpage where if you take a Medicare Advantage Plan and don’t like it, you can then get a supplement. Let’s talk privately about some companies that have an unofficial practice of being more liberal…
Please note that Medicare Supplements are not like Obama Care, there is no right to guaranteed issue, any time. Even Obama Care has certain open enrollment periods. See our page on Medical Loss Ratio, the Insurance Companies take in a small premium…from lots of people, but have to be able to pay all claims from all policy holders. See also the new page – under construction we are building on Donald Care. It appears that many of our leaders don’t understand medical underwriting and the law of large numbers.
Hi. I’m looking for the best price on a Pre-65 Plan N supplement. We have Anthem at $249/month. My wife is on Social Security Disability. Birthdate: 10/25/1954. The price for Anthem started at $174 and after six months they raised it to $249.
Any possibilities we should look into?

I’ve responded to you privately. Use the menu above to check out other companies for Medi-Gap… but there may be a problem with Guaranteed Issue. In October there is Medicare Advantage.
