Our health care system is a mess! We need a single health care system with the same insurance for everyone, in by my opinion.

And stefanik needs to be voted out!

Health care bills are very confusing. Try not to pay before getting the insurance EOB. I’ve rarely had accurate bills from GFH.

That is excellent advice. I learned the hardware about the value of the “Explanation of Benefits” from the insurance company. I keep them for years.

I hate even thinking about insurance. I’ve been blessedly lucky on that count, tho. I’d probably be one of those just paying the $40. Just turned 65 too and managed to get through the Medicare process. The guy from Empire Blue Cross on the phone was incredible and I told him so at the end of the call. Happy that you have your wife to look out for you. 😉

Stefanik is MTG or Boebert with a Harvard degree. Don’t know if you’ve seen the Eric Greitens RINO hunting ad. Most of those folks testifying yesterday that were receiving harassment and death threats were Republicans. If Elise ever has any thoughts of rejoining those of us on Team Normal she might appreciate the wisdom of things like metal detectors. They probably teach this at Harvard: The Crusaders killed a great number of Christians. She should watch out for her fellows.

Try dealing with Medicaid when having to put your husband in a nursing home. It's a nightmare.

I like your rationale. Ken, let us know how it works out for you, telling the TSA agents they're violating your constitutional rights.

I’ll try, but I suspect I will only get one phone call.

The underlying message from Rep Stefanik is that she wants to be able to carry a loaded gun into the House. If not her, others in her political sphere. It's there for her protection, she is thinking beyond, to insurrection.

Well said. I'm 80 with no family to help me navigate the medical bills, so my best choice is to stay reasonably healthy and then die suddenly. I wish I could put in an order for that!

I find it sad that Ms Stefanik is willing to allow metal detectors in schools. It is ironic that she has no problem with children facing this issue and cannot connect the trauma and threat to mental health they face. She is merely showboating and trivializing a very serious problem for our children and our communities.
