Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Awwww...Ginger, that's terrible. Hang in there, friend.
Ugh, Pix. Because I know I hit up stuff continually, I don't do the 80/20 plans, and instead go with flat rates. It works out for me.
::sigh:: Ginger. Sorry life bites.
Ugh, Ginger. I'm sorry life is being wearying.
Though I kind of want a picture of the green hand.
Ginger sorry about that.

And ita - flat rate co-pays no longer available in a lot of areas or from a lot of health plans. Glad that option is still available to you. Even some HMOs now have percent copays on big expenses, which kind of of loses the the big advantage of an HMO from the patients point of view. In individual plans in my area almost impossible. Probably large and medium size employers can still offer plans with that option, but not all do.I can no longer get a plan with less than a $1,000 deductible, and that includes group health. Shouldn't grumble, At least I can get health insurance still, don't know if that will last forever.
Sorry, Ginger. Sorry, Pix.
But, also, yay! to Kate's getting married! I don't think I had the chance to congratulate you here, "in person".
Pix, that's tough. Check to see if there is a cap per year. I also suggest the payment options. Mom is still paying her procedure from about 15 years ago. Your certification is a needed thing, no?
How is ND doing?
Who in the hell decided that teachers could reasonably be expected to cough up $1200 for national certification? That's utterly insane. And yeah, the $1500 copay is scary too.
Ginger, that's crappy for you.
A few years ago, my dad had a valve replaced, which is open heart surgery. Even though he lives in New Mexico, he wnt to Minnesota to have it done because in NM, their "copay" would have been 20K or something like that. Luckily for him, it was surgery that could wait for a trip to MN.
eta: and I should add that my parents have comparably good health insurance.
I'm so glad I work for socialists. My pay is crap, but my health insurance is gold-plated.
