Back when I was on medicaid that was the best insurance I've ever been on. No premiums, no copays and no deductibles to worry about, just go to the doctor and get care.
Yes, I do want everyone in America to be on Medicaid.

Oh, they're trying to collect on my MIL who died 3 months ago from a visit in which wife was the point of contact down here. So they're only at the "send a copy of every bill weekly" stage with my bills.
HCA already sent a bill that they've received 98% payment on via insurance to a debt collector 3.5 months after discharge.

“401k’s are Highest EVER” is like Apple releasing the [superlative] iPhone ever every year or me being older than I’ve ever been.

You know, I was just a relatively die hard UofL fan dating someone who belonged to a “rabid” UK fan family, but I’m just now realizing I house sat while they went to Maui tourney ~30 years ago. I mean, they *did* take me along when they went to *Cleveland* to watch the games there.
