You guys should talk.Deductible and coinsurance. But the good news is a big discount for services. Part A hospital coverage was paid while working. B is option and you have to pay. D for Rx is a big mess that results when the govt designs anything. You have to pay for that also. Look into to medicare replacement plans. Some are good. I'm a big fan of AARP plan with united healthcare. I not at the age for it yet but have worked with them for years with my job.
And I'd like to listen.You guys should talk.
Thanks. They are still trying to pin down the cause of the fluid effusion. Lupus may be a possibility.Thats alot of snot comming out of you. Hope you feel better, must be nice breathing like it supposed to be.
Hope they find the cure and at the very least make your life better. I have hopes for that.
$470 a month for my wife and I in Aus and I think we are ahead with the cost of her two hip replacements.Yeah. My mom tells me every time they raise her Social Security, they raise the Medicare premiums.
But having had to pay out of pocket for family health coverage, $310 a month seems a bargain.
Hoping things get better soon Erichmore flippin side effects with this oral chemo ~
That $310 is just for one person. Medicare does not cover the family like a company health plan. And then you need to pay for a Medicare Supplement to help pay for the stuff that Medicare does not pay for. And then Obamacare came along and they started charging for things they had not before. My Mom went to the ER about 5 months before she died. Just in the ER and out after a few hours; she had passed out. And months later, after she died, we got a bill for $800 because the ER doctors had joined a company to charge for their services and Medicare or the supplemental plan did not cover that.
We are in the same age bracket. Retirement age 67. Just before the system runs out of money. Sad thing is my SSI payment will be more than my monthly take home was the past 10 years. So glad I got the civil service position now. Free insurance, a little pension. I can pay off the house and bills before I retire. Just about the time the warranty on my body wears out. I don't get many calls about extending my manufacturing warranty.My retirement timeline is - at 60 I start collecting my Army Reserve pension, which will be about 22% of base pay for my rank and time in service. Then SS kicks in at 62 to 70, 67 is full retirement age, but I can start collecting early, or delay til 70. Then I have two rather underfunded retirement accounts that can be tapped without penalty at 59.5.
My hope is to use the first few years of the military pension to pay off/down my crushing debt while I'm still working.
Like Fubar, I actually like my factory job. But we'll see how the body holds up.
No, you'll just get to the point.Ok gentlemen, I am only 4 months removed from my health insurance/medicare life. I can try to answer any questions you have. If I don't know, I can make up sh@$ as well as the insurance representative.
Only the other day I was wondering how you were travelling Erich....hoping for good things Erich, take care.more flippin side effects with this oral chemo ~
There is not a single story that you can tell me that I would not believe.i sometimes think you guys think i make this stuff up ?
so today, 2 ladies on a spa day which includes a 2 course lunch, they order 2 x Korean fried chicken starters and 2 x Caeser salads with grilled chicken for main courses.
they request that one of the Caeser salads is made gluten free, i inform them that that is no problem but the starter they picked cannot be made gluten free.
"that's ok, i'll still have it" they say
so i send out the starters, again confirming they are not gluten free.
"i dont have an allergy to gluten" she says.
starter plates come back with one hardly touched.
is there a problem i ask.
no she said she has a small appetite and was saving herself for her main course but can she add a portion of fries to her Caeser salad !
i send out the main courses and barley 2 minutes later the waitress says they have picked up their drinks and left without touching the food.
we find them in the bar and ask what is wrong, why have they left their main courses untouched ?
"i have a deep fear of fish", she says "and when i saw the anchovies in the salad i panicked and ran out"
now it clearly states on my menu that the Caeser salad has anchovies in it but she didnt read that !
i give up !
