I think you may be confusing Seventh Day Adventist with Jehovah's Witness. Seventh Day Adventist recruit in more subliminal ways.

In all honesty, I don't know how well my Aetna PPO will pay, as I haven't been to a doctor since turning 65 in September. But I have gotten some prescriptions filled and they were the same or lower as my other plan. And just to add, I'm fortunate in that AT&T retirees have an HRA, or a bucket of $2500 to get reimbursed for out of pocket expenses, including prescriptions. I haven't submitted anything yet, so we'll see how complicated it is to get any money back. I've been pleased with my PPO with BC/BS and Aetna. They accept all of my doctors and my prescriptions.
-
Yes. And it's also a PPO. I would never subject myself to an HMO. LOL I like to have control over my care.
-
My doctor visits are $7 and a specialist is $39. If I have testing or procedures I have a $300 deductible. But my Medicare picks up a lot as its my primary insurance.
-
And even though I retired from AT&T (formally Bellsouth) I had to pay for my insurance. When I first retired, my monthly premiums were $10 for BC/BS, including coverage for my husband, including vision and dental. When Obama care became effective, my premiums went up to $120 a month. The next year they went up to around $150. Now that I'm 65 AT&T drops their employees but routes us through a contractor called AON to help us find the best policy for our situation. Aetna was the best plan for my needs and it includes a prescription plan. It does not include vision or denta

I still need a supplemental with Medicare.

You know, I've listened to all of the debates, and I can't remember one thing Carson has said. I don't even know what his policies are or how he plans to change things. Maybe someone could enlighten me. I swear, the man talks so slow and low, I find it hard to have an interest in him.

His religion, Seventh Day Adventist, is a religion of pacifist. In other words they are a conscientious objector religion. I have a problem with that. And if religion doesn't matter to so many, how is it that everyone was up in arms because Obama was purportedly a Muslim? Muslim is a religion.

Heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time.

Have you thought about a PPO? That's what I've had for years and have kept all of my doctors in the Wellstar system. First I was with BC/BS. I had to change when I turned 65 because AT&T drops all of their folks at 65. I'm now with Aetna, another PPO and have kept all of my doctors.

That would work!

I saw the polls. We're a year out. Everything could change, but that gives Hillary a year to convince people that she is trustworthy and will work for them. Are there really that many swing voters out there? People who are still undecided? Not the people I talk to and see. It's all or nothing. They're either voting for Hillary or holding out for Trump. I don't see many folks changing their minds when it comes to voting Democrat or Republican. Oh, and I don't see Carson getting the black vote. The black vote almost always goes to the Dems. Just because he's black doesn't mean

I fully understand what you're saying, but nobody is going to beat Hillary. She will be our next president, as bad as that tastes coming out of my mouth. You know, the dems have two main stage players. Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton. Both Democratic Socialist, one admits it the other doesn't, but they're both on the same page, playing to each other. The Republican's have a bunch yahoos on stage that can't agree with each other about anything. We are so far gone as a country that the people are not going to bite the hand that feeds them. Why vote out the Democrats when

It does for me.

And obviously his religion gets in the way of facts. The pyramids were grain silos? Really? And a hip hop rap so young African Americans can relate?
-
I've never cared for him. He has a lot of issues that I'm troubled by, but most importantly, his conscientious objector religion. And he wants to be Commander in Chief?

Experts dismiss Carson's belief pyramids used to store grain . Associated Press By JESSE J. HOLLAND and BILL BARROW 5 hours ago MIAMI (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson on Thursday stood by his belief that Egypt's great pyramids were built by the biblical figure Joseph to store grain, an assertion dismissed by experts who say it's accepted science they were tombs for pharaohs. http://news.yahoo.com/carson-pyramids-egypt-built-biblical-figure-joseph-173754341--election.html# Did he really do this?

The trooper's story has gone nationwide and I just checked the site. And again it says after funeral costs, the rest will be put into a trust to take care of the children. $342,688 of $350k Raised by 8,883 people in 2 days -
I was glad to see this and thought I would post.

Or the side effects. Sometimes the side effects are worse than the disease. But I will agree people are living longer because they are more aware of their heart health and stroke prevention. -
I don't understand the situation with the studio either.

I consider it cultural and in the south it's usually supper. When I was growing up, my granny made a huge dinner (lunch) and covered it with a tablecloth for supper around 5:00. But then, they were farmers and had breakfast around 6:00 after milking the cow and lunch was around 11:30 and dinner was after milking the cow.

Supper and I don't know.
