67 outside this AM. Heading to 90's. I'll just repeat that forecast for the next month, cause that is what the longer term outlook is projecting.
I need to hose down some stuff. I get nervous around these "extended" heat waves with lack of rain. Being on well water, I just don't know what is available.
Hope all have a good day. Be safe.
On hospitals and insurance, over my lifetime, I have had three significant events, all three ended up with serious dollars being owed by my. Even with insurance, which in one circumstance was "the best" a long time ago. We have attempted to keep "the best" insurance through our lives to this point.
The first event, air fare, weeks in ICU, recovery, ended with the Doctor forgiving my debt. And my employer dropping that insurance company from their plan the next go around.
The second event, covered all but deductibles and some out-of-network charges. Unfortunate when your in six figures for care, your responsible payments are still significant.
The third event, covered all but deductibles and what we thought were to be in-network charges. We thought we had the proper sign-offs on billing and services before undertaking the surgery. That turned out to not be correct on my part, fine print and such...so once again we reverted back to debt forgiveness and paying the outstanding debt.
With these care providers billing in the millions, and the dealings with insurances, one can see how people just cannot make ends meet.
Puts our wabbit problem into perspective !
