My favorite time of year

[justin case]

I love this time of year! All the Health Insurance company's get together, and see just how much further they can add to your continued regression into bankruptcy. My goodness, in just one year, it's hard to find a PPO, ( if you can get one), the cost is up 41 percent. I have no money left for Santa's cookies and milk

No milk or cookie money here either. I thought I heard insurance was going up that much. I'll be

"on an inclined plane wrapped helically around its axis."
Thank you Big Bang theory. That's as close as I come to a scientist

Maybe I should put this in the bitch thread, butt I think it fits here also. I see that United Healthcare has lost more than $400,000,000 on its Obamacare policies, and threatened to pull out of the ACA. So, the Obama administration has agreed to a taxpayer bailout of poor UHC. aarrrggghhhhhh Of course overall, UHC is a very profitable company.

Mr. Case, since you had to give up milk and cookies, I sincerely hope you can still afford beer and TP.

Beer has hops , barley, and malt, (liquid food)
If my wife continues with her need for a new stove, (she is afraid to turn ours on, although it works fine) I may have to switch to corn liquor, for more fortitude
As for the insurance problem, I just may have to go with an HMO, which is just a little more pricey, than my mortgage payment

Oh, so you noticed that too this year, did ya? Are you guys just trying to make my day?

I'm going w/door #1 this year.





Isn't it all just a bunch of...

BS

[canadiandaughter]

I think you need to move up north!! Things are so much simpler here. I feel for all of you having to deal with this bs and cancer on top of it.

Perhaps you're right, but I think one day next week it might get all the way down to 40 degrees at night, butt it will be in the 70's for Thanksgiving
I can't imagine having to deal with cancer and snow

Yeah, my employer announced that our PPO option is going away after next year. I'm trying to figure out why my definition of affordable and the government's definition aren't the same...lol

The government loves to give money away to those who don't have any, with the promise of a better life
They sometimes if not all the time forget who's money it is, and my life just isn't getting better paying for those who don't work, or think standing on a corner asking for money, is more profitable, than going to work
JMHO,

Could not AGREE more my bro nut.

Rick, We too worry we will lose our PPO plan in the next few yrs. This is NOT right. I'm to the point, who ever says they will gut obamacare will probably get my vote for pres.

I can't imagine having to deal with cancer and snow.

We just had our first big snowfall. It's gorgeous.

Yeah, later this morning I'm going to have to get out there and shovel it. It was a wet snow so it will be heavy. But until then I'm just going to drink my coffee and look at the glistening forest around me. It's the kind of thing that makes me happy to be alive.

Snow is beautiful. Cancer is horrible.

Best,

My hubby's company just switched TO United Healthcare. We wont pay anymore per month for the policy but pay a lot more out of pocket and higher deductible. Ugh. It is a PPO but I have to find out if my docs are all in network. Poor Santa will get quite svelte as fewer people can afford to be as generous with milk and cookies.

Unfortunately, growing up in Midwest cities, once you shovel the snow, a snowplow comes along, and buries your vehicle, so you can do it all over again
The Wisconsin woods were nice though

Well come to us. We have our lovely NHS and many, many rainy days.

Mr. nut is retiring at the end of the year. The good news we can get insurance and won't be denied because of a pre-existing condition. The bad news is that it sucks and is no where as good as the policy we had before. We could continue on COBRA but that is pricy. No milk and cookies for us either.

Weather-wise, it is a pleasant 68 degrees here, and I'm making a roasted acorn squash and kale salad for lunch.
