The government advises you not to carry your social security number on your person yet Medicare issues you a card with your SS# on it that you are supposed to carry at all times. Every Dr office, lab, hospital, insurance company, temporary employee or anyone who works in any of these offices has your SS#. The crooks are smart enough to know this. Why aren't our Medicare officers smart enough to see this? We should be issued random ID numbers for Medicare. Thank you, Jack Smith
