This all does get murky! The peculiar relationship with the therapist, where you explore the areas one usually keeps hidden, and where you have opportunities for repeated little ruptures and repairs seems to have created a situation where I began to feel much more confident, and safer taking social risks; this led to a more active social life, and so on in a generally upward spiral. I can't say the changes were major, but they were enough to make me feel much happier and more satisfied.
My experience about Medicare is that the younger ones starting out usually accept it, but as their practices become established, they usually opt out and charge considerably more. Young therapists often have an advantage in dedication and enthusiasm which can translate into really good, healing relationships. If you do decide to explore doing it, I think it's very important to interview at least several people, and only decide on someone whom you feel enthusiastic about - the "good fit" is essential!
I hope you do consider it.
