On Medicare there is a charge removed from you check monthly. Plus I pay for supplemental insurance and drug coverage. The cost is about $14,000 a year for the two of us.

I really don't understand this medicare in relation to different coverage and costs around the nation. People pay different premiums and some of us pay $0

I have a Humana PPO (HumanaChoice Florida) and I couldn't ask for a better policy. Nothing I have had in my life compares to this. I get to see the best doctors and I get to choose them.

My wife and I have $0 Premium. We pay nothing for the coverage. NADA. Other than the monthly deduction out of social security.

*We have a $10 co-pay for our primary doctor and $20 for specialist.
*With a PPO we do not need a referral to see a specialist. I can pick up the phone and call one without my primary doctor even knowing. I did that when I had my spine operation and my kidney cancer surgery.
* My prescription drugs are $0. I go through Humana for that and they send them direct to my house with no charge. They also refill them automatically. If a prescription requires a doctor to authorize, Humana call them. I do nothing and I pay nothing.

In the past 5 years I have had 6 major surgeries. Cancer, Spinal stenois to name a few and they were very expensive. My cost was negligible.

I think they State of Florida negotiaties the Medicare Advantage policies with the insurance carriers. What ever it may be I am about as pleased with my medical insurance as one can be.

 

[BBUK]

Got my answers on Medicare. I do thank you for your input. It did help and shook me out of my apathy/ non-critical approach.

All that is saying we must limit the number of TN possessions.

Thanks Cliff.

The coal miner story of the miner who attended the UK blue white game has gone viral and there was a feature story in Tampa, FL about it. WFLA Channel 8 News covered it and gave a very nice write up.

I am proud of the father and the young man is very lucky to have such a loving family. Just a great story of Cat fans. Love it

Thanks Cliff.

just keeping it simple for ya.

 

[MdWIldcat55]

Whoa, I have health insurance. Is this mandatory? (I haven't called them yet today.)

You may have found this out already BBUK. But all you need to do as you approach 65 but plan to continue working is sign up for the FREE part of Medicare, Part A, if you are going to be using your work health care plan for the foreseeable future. That will establish you with a Medicare account and a number, but cost you nothing. Then, when you leave employment, you can start paying for more coverage under Medicare: What that might include is another question for another time.

That photo reminds me so much of my dad, who was a pipeline welder and would often get very dirty working in ditches, but he’d come directly from the job to catch me and my brothers in basketball or baseball games. I know looking back he probably felt self-conscious, he was a very dignified guy, but he cared more about watching his sons.

That's what real people do...they show up and support regardless.

My Dad showed up to my championship game in babe Ruth league. I remembered it being the first time he ever saw me play. I went 4 for 4, drove in the winning run and got the winning out. The only game my Dad ever saw me play...

I guess I was lucky. Dad could be strict, but he never missed my games. He even coached a couple of teams when I was in the Khoury League.

I coached my son in little league and babe Ruth along with tee ball. Not every team he played on (on purpose) but the majority. My two daughters in Color guard, marching band, football, yadda yadda. (Never coached those but in totality they were supported. Church, men's group, nursing home visits and support. (Had a full-filling journey and was thankful then and am thankful now. Glad I owned my own business most of that time and had employees covering. I was busy busy back then but my babies and My Darling remember....

My Dad and Mom had it hard but they did the best they could with what they had...

I helped coach my daughter in basketball and softball till she got to the high school level. I think it is important to be involved in your child's life. She has turned out pretty well.

19-year old niece eloped with a guy she's only known 2 months. Shocked as hell. Neither have a job. This is not going to sit well with my parents.

Sorry this is NOT political BUT I can see this for sure as TRUTH....(16 seconds after commercials.)

And I thought I was moving slow. I still think I'm fast enough not to be engulfed by a snake. At least I HOPE I am.

Not if he gets you to look at him first.

90-year old movie still is creepy as hell.

 

[UK82]

Got a message from Chase that a charge of $2.99 for a dating service was declined. Definitely not ours. Card has been compromised for a lousy 3 buck charge. Now I have to go through the whole process of getting a new charge card. Pain in the ass.

[AustinTXCat]

Interesting stat.

 

[TheFrontRunner]

 

[AustinTXCat]

Good morning from ATX. Currently 50°F, clear and calm. Our high today should max out at around 82°F.

It's Thursday, which means I'm heading back into the office today, so keeping it short.

Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

 

[UK_fan_41102]

Good morning to all. It's currently 47° and cloudy here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will bring mostly cloudy skies and a high of 61°.

Be safe out there today.

 

[BBUK]

Short and sweet

Have a day to remember in a good way....

[Bert Higginbotha]

Whoa, I have health insurance. Is this mandatory? (I haven't called them yet today.)

Every plan is different, plus I have Palmetto instead of Medicare and there may be differences.

 

[Bert Higginbotha]

Good morning folks. Decent report from the doctor yesterday, he thinks I will live at the least 6 months for my next appointment.

It is 35.2°F here but we are to get to 63° so that ain't bad.

I really don't understand this medicare in relation to different coverage and costs around the nation. People pay different premiums and some of us pay $0

Our coverage is great and we have no co-pays for doctors or specialists and we get to choose them. My broken leg cost nothing except some of the ambulance expense. My knee and hip replacements cost me less $5.00 because I had to pay a little for the pain meds. My drugs plan is not good. My cancer treatment cost me nothing. So I am happy with my coverage, but my supplemental insurance is where the cost comes in.

I don't know how Humana is set up, but my daughter is Chief Operating Officer for Medicaid. She helps run a fine company. Plus she is cute:

She gets the freckles from me.

 

[warrior-cat]

Morning Legionnaires!

46° this morning with 72° on tap for the day and moderate winds. More rain expected tonight (still under the norm) and tomorrow. We will take it.

Doing the Miyagi thing later this morning after my normal workout. Honey do list to do afterwards. While in town wife has given me a list of items she needs/wants from Sams. That means lunch in town today which will be Korean. Bulgogi and whatever my daughter wants. She likes these days too.

Well, out to the shop for my workout.

Ya'll be cool.

We are thankful for the great medical report Bert. And congrats to your daughter, she works for a great company that has treated me very fair over the years when it comes to medical insurance. I have never had a dispute with them over any issue.

I have had Humana for many, many years. They have really improved their dental coverage for next year.

 

[MdWIldcat55]

Congrats on the decent bill of health. And on the successful daughter. I concur with your “cute” assessment. If your doctor has given you six months you are ahead of many of us.

My status remains day-to-day.

Having lunch today with the Dean of U.K.’s Communications Department. She’s in DC for a conference. They’d been suggesting I might take some role lecturing or teaching. I’ll be polite but don’t have any time, and when I do I have my own projects to pursue.

Hope it is a good day for everyone.

 

[Girthang]

Good morning D-League!

35° and salty in the holler this morning. Hope you all have a good day!

Reminds me of that scene in the matrix with neo and the architect. I think of God hearing all of these thoughts and tantrums and wonder how close He is to ending it all

 

[vhcat70]

I guess I was lucky. Dad could be strict, but he never missed my games. He even coached a couple of teams when I was in the Khoury League.

Dad rarely saw me play - not that I was that great. But he was working his second job most of the time - umpiring HS games, rec softball in evenings, and men's baseball on weekends.

 

[Girthang]

Dangit. I had a beer yesterday...

 

[Girthang]

My Dad showed up to my championship game in babe Ruth league. I remembered it being the first time he ever saw me play. I went 4 for 4, drove in the winning run and got the winning out. The only game my Dad ever saw me play...

Other than a few little league games, my dad never saw me play baseball or football. Never saw me in any of the four or five sports I played after grade school. Parents got divorced and he got screwed in the settlement. Don't blame him for not being there. He worked 3 jobs between trips to the VA. Eventually got a new family with a beautiful wife that loved him.

Gone 10 years now.

Lost him and 2 sisters in that time. I'm a bit angry about it still a month after my sister has gone, so I hope yall forgive my foul language and short temper for a bit longer. Seeing so many others besides getting sick makes it come to the surface all over again.

My patience is lacking, and my hope for my family has dimmed. I will try to do better and not bring it up again. Got to settle back in to what's real

We will put her in our prayers. Sorry to hear that

 

[Girthang]

I have Mr. Carbo, have had several. The best devise I can give you is when it moves, just get in the floor, have your wife put a pair of high heels on and walk on your back, just kidding!!! Best thing is to start drinking as much water as you can, also start drinking 100% cranberry juice, water with lemon or lemonade and lots of it, not cocktail mixes straight cranberry. I have heard that drinking a beer will help, I haven't tried a beer. Last one I had was 3 years ago, spent three days in the hospital, they had me walking as much as I could, they said walking helps make it move. It finally moved away from my kidney enough that they took me down a busted it up. I had to lay on a table, brought some type of machine that was over my stomach and underneath the metal table, then they put me to sleep, when I woke up everything was ok. Pissed a bunch of little stones and a lot of blood which was scary, went home the next day. Wasn't the best place to spend our anniversary but what could I do? Like I said drink, drink and drink!!!!!!

That 100% cranberry juice is good maintenance advice to avoid them as well.

Wow is all I will say. I am a Windows man and have been translating my expertise to a macbookpro. (Actually my expertise in windows is long antiquated as I work in a much different environment now..) I backed up my daughters data using apple products and then verified it actually worked. (I had to clear an external hard drive I had then format it to be compatible with apple.) I did that and then erased the macbook, formatted it and am now waiting for the image to finish. Once it does I will throw Office for MAC on it and install McAfee. THEN it will be all hers again. (I have a copy of her data but I am not reinstalling it unless asked and then only what she asks for as she had some old data on it. If all works I may upgrade her memory.... We shall see but it took a while....

Apple is definitely more work. I still have my windows rigs, but also a hackintosh and 2 McBkPros. The apple quality has seriously gone in the toilet over the last 5 years tho

Yes, it was! They beat Lecce in Serie A. (Have a friend who grew up near Bologna and follows the team.)
