This has been fun, but obviously it is unlikely we will agree on this topic. That's ok. Best of luck on your finding an acceptable solution. Consider Canada or Europe if that is what you think would be best for you. If you choose Canada, stay near the border; when my brother has in private...

I know a lot of people that wouldn't be considered "wealthy" that aren't off put buy their health insurance. I can see why those that can't pay for insurance would want to be subsidized. It matters to me. If my house is on fire, my preference is for the fire truck to show up first If the...

I was under the impression the solution was cancel ACA, and get out of the income tax funded insurance business. The federal government should not be involved in things that favor or disfavor any person, group, community, state, etc.

Thank you. Old irrelevant information. By the way, not a Trump fan.

I do recognize that your "thing" is bitch and moan rather than educate. Hope you have a reasonable day.

Don't know what your idea of "public option" means then. Typically "public option" refers to a federal or state funded plan. No idea what you are writing about. No idea what you are writing about.

We don't need to encourage "easier". If it weren't for our soon to be 70 y.o knees we wouldn't ride ebikes. Most of my riding is still unassisted.

If he doesn't have physical limitations, no to the ebike.

Yes. We use UHC, do not use OptumRX (although it is a choice), not sure if some of our Medicare Advantage "freebees" are connected to Optumhealth. No Optumhalth Drs. in this area. The company I retired from used UHC; our MA plan is basically what we had as an employee and retiree (until 65)...

You can't make this stuff up. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/google-pulls-mcdonalds-negative-reviews-020904620.html

Negotiating a discount helps me pay much less. As I indicated, concentrate on those that charge, not those that help pay.

As long as "the public option" doesn't involve federal tax dollars, you can have whatever makes you happy. Don't know if I'm the smartest, but apparently the least triggered.

I'd concentrate on those that charge, rather than the one that helps you pay. Hopefully the new administration does something to bring reasonable healthcare insurance back. When my kids were between college and real jobs, there was "catastrophic medical insurance" available. High deductible...

Sorry to read you don't have time to be prudent. Fortunately our UHC Medicare Advantage plan is not as you describe. I have skimmed medical, home, auto, liability insurance plans; none of the print is fine. My mom (mid 90s natural causes) , MIL (brain cancer), and FIL (pancreatic cancer) spent...

I don't get denied for "out of network" providers either, just pay more for copay and have higher max out of pocket expense. Which is a known when choosing insurance. If people paid attention to what was included/excluded in their policy, they wouldn't get a surprise. That also applies to...

What do you include in the "healthcare system"? I would not include healthcare insurance. Just like I don't consider auto insurance part of the auto industry, or home insurance part of the real-estate industry.

And that's Canadian dollars, ouch.

Not our style, but thanks for the suggestion.

We're doing an Alaska Cruise out of Vancouver the end of May. You folks certainly hold your hotels near the cruise port in high regard.

Are you other than US?
