I always liked when I had one, during my Corporate Lives the Employers always used them and my personal experiences with them were favorable too and it was always affordable and covered everything. Alas, upon taking early Retirement to become a full time unpaid Caregiver, I couldn't afford the post-retirement Premiums they charge those no longer employed. So I went on The Man's Earned Benefits Plan with the Military, which isn't Free anymore like Promised to all the G.I.'s who Served and Honored their end of the commitment... now you pay... and most Civilian Docs and Pharmacies are reluctant to accept it... and if you're too young for Medicare yet you might have a big gap in what will be covered that the Insurance won't pay. Until 65 I can use the Base Clinic for some things and their Pharmacies, so that is a Blessing, but after 65 I am concerned... I have The Man go to the VA Hospital most of the time with the extremity of his ailments and disability being quite profound, like Sophie, I couldn't risk him just going anywhere and with iffy coverage.<br /><br /><br /><br />Bohemianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03743017084098726581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-76693996845964897492019-04-21T15:36:34.237-07:002019-04-21T15:36:34.237-07:00I think Dr. Rita is on to something.

You know your friends are there for you, but it is powerful to have them say it at the outset, to say I am on call for you, do not hesitate to call me, as I am saying to you now.

From what I learned during my medical writing days (20 years ago now) they ARE quite effective -- unfortunately, not all HMOs can say the same.

I have a terrible time reaching out to share my troubles. I feel too needy, that I should be able to just deal with it myself but I can't. Writing on my blog helps somewhat but someone you know helps the most and even though I've never met Ms. Moon, I feel I know her just from her blog.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing this because it's good to know that I'm not the only one who struggles. I feel so alone at times and it's hard to write that on my blog because I know it would hurt the big guy. He's a good man but he always wants to fix everything and sometimes things are just broken and I just need to cry or vent.My life so farhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16721270441968035994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-82551177586165189192019-04-17T20:14:32.112-07:002019-04-17T20:14:32.112-07:00I think that I'm always on call for whatever y...I think that I'm always on call for whatever you need. <br />I may not be able to actually help but I'm here to listen. <br />Always.
