So, here's some NOT fake news. Neither one of us is on the 'aca' system but Mrs rktman was being covered under my old employer health plan and i had private Medicare supplement. Our share of the old employer premium was going to go from $950/month to $1,016/month. We cancelled it and found another plan locally which is $703/month. Bigger copays and deductibles but hopefully if no one gets sick or injured, we can put some aside to pay the out of pocket stuff. I dropped my Humana Medicare supp and found a local one that is zero premium. Was $203/month and didn't see the increase before I cancelled it. So, like I said, if no body has a major malfunction we can, with some discipline, hang on to an extra $500/month. Since I get the majority of my care at the VA as a level 8 (means I agree to pay copays for docs and meds) I should be okay. Hopefully the copay for my neck surgery 3weeks ago doesn't do me in. Just saw the first invoice and it's over $90,000. It was a "Choice" program approved procedure so....... One night stay too. WHAT! 🤕😷🤒
