Rachel Maddow did an excellent piece on this Monday, within the context of how important drugs have been developed with the direct involvement of the federal agencies that his administration is wrecking. He has personally benefitted from these programs, in surviving COVID and in lowering his life-threatening his LDL levels, among others.

For me, but not for thee.

Yep, when I was on a PPO plan the costs were never stable, rising every year, usually more than the cost of living. I went to a HMO, not because I like it, but it keeps the costs down (my monthly premium actually went down. When the hell does that ever happen?) I can’t recommend it for everyone as YMMV depending on where you live, but right now it works.

AARP offers a health plan through UHC. Sometimes it’s the only reasonable option, as in, if you retire out of the state you worked in, there’s only one plan offered. I do agree with your evaluation of AARP though. As Dr. Glaucomflecken says, their company policy is “We Are Evil!”

Unfortunately for me, I have the same combo as my Medicare secondary. When open enrollment rolled around, (as it does every year) I examined my options and this was still the best one for me.

I have never ‘joined’ AARP, and never will, mostly because they’re a racket and partly because they think my name is Maria. Which it is not.

Michael, I’m guessing you are on “Tier 3” drugs. Many have been around since the 50’s, like blood pressure meds and such. Those costs have remained fairly stable. However , once you move into the Tier 2 and Tier 1 drugs, they nail you. The way Big Pharma has manipulated our government to do their bidding at the expense of most everyone in our country is a sad commentary.

People with the mindset or brain chemistry of those who support Drumpf will never be free to change as it would be too much of a shock to their system to admit they were wrong. It would take cult level therapy to do it. And, after Drumpf, they'll most likely find another evil persona or cause to support. Happens with those who hate the lives they have and look for someone to save them, or at least to verbalize the hate they feel for anyone they think put them where they are. It's always against the "others" - anyone outside their little enclaves - anyone who is happy, or the immigrants, or the POC, or the women libbers that turn their souls.

Republicans probably means that budget appropriation’s bill is never going to pass, on top of the fact that the drug executive order, is all bluster because all of that spending has to be worked out by Congress, which will very likely be worked out in the budget appropriations Bill, which is destined to fucking fail.
