Morning all!
We are getting the remnants of Irma here in IL today, mostly cloudy, but with some rain on the way. Not too bad and we do need rain.
Spent a part of the weekend going through old files as part of the move prep. We found piles of old medical receipts and paid bills from our year and a half in FL. Made us both realize how good we have in Illinois with our wonderful HMO and integrated care system. We go to the doctors office, pay a $20 copay, she orders labs/xrays/bone density scan/MRI/colonoscopy/etc... we go to the appropriate department in the same building and get it done, no additional charges. Get put in the hospital for surgery or sickness, copay of $400, period. My entire knee replacement including all rehab cost us less than $600.
We are extremely lucky, everyone should have such decent and humane insurance.
