    Health Insurance Nightmares

    I am sure you are old enough to remember way back like 25-30 years ago Humana got busted for such practices...I have them back then. What United is doing seems so similar. That office sounds quite s**ty. You gotta wonder if they were dropped, no medical practice in the right mind would drop...

    Health Insurance Nightmares

    I find it hard to believe they would not take advantage plans. I think everyone I know on medicare has an advantage plan. Maybe its time to find a new doctor/practice? If i recall, you live in a fairly rural area? Correct me if I am wrong there. Maybe it time to look for better further...

    First American Wagyu Brisket

    cooking at 180 till the stall will take days...lifetime. I would cook it like a normal brisket. 275 till probe tender. I dont think the wagu part should change the process. Maybe I am wrong? I think super long cook time like you describe is kinda asking for trouble. 20 hours on the smoker...

    Fun home owner stuff. Sprinklers.

    Giving me flashback nightmares!!! My old house was a sprinkler nightmare every spring. I spent countless hours repairing/fixing etc. Then we moved to the mountains and there is just nature out there, no manicured lawns. Maintenance is easy, weed whack 1-2X a summer, blow snow in the winter...

    Health Insurance Nightmares

    My wifes advantage plan seems to be ok, when they pay on the first claim filing. Compared to my ACA its FAR better. The issue is United doesnt always pay claims on the first filing and that leads to big PITA, many calls and run around, but eventually they pay. Her hip replacement surgery and...

    How hard is it to make bread?

    HA! Truth! I find sourdough easier than any other I have tried. But I live at 8200ft and that messes with on SD breads...so it seams.

    What in the Sweet Baby Jesus is going on? Meat prices.

    I learned way back that farmers markets (at least the ones up here) are a total rip off. I think they are for tourists or something. no one with a brain would pay what they charge.

    Health Insurance Nightmares

    This situation is totally F'ed! SO many people will be affected and likely wont be able to afford coverage, then the broken system will become more broken. My retirement income is so low I am hoping I qualify for the credits even if they are cut back. Time will tell. Medicaid folks I fear...

    Health Insurance Nightmares

    I have the HMO. Not really a big deal till you have something bad happen and need surgeries and such. As I am finding out. My deductible is like $6500 and max out of pocket is $9500. Maxed out both in March with first surgery. I was hoping to get the cataract surgery covered but not this...

    Health Insurance Nightmares

    I read up on this. if your MAGI (modified adjusted gross income) is below 4Xproverty level, I dont think the impact is near as significant if the tax credits are dropped. Single person home that is $62,600 for a home of two its $84,600. I looked up how MAGI is calculated and its a little...

    Very interesting. Rumors in Colorado were they were pulling all the HMO plans from here. But my daughter is one of the assistant attorneys general and somehow she caught wind that that change is not happening. Guess we will find out in Nov. what options we get. I would get Anthem again...

    Health Insurance Nightmares

    After a day of shenanigans...sounds like my surgeon worked some magic and got me approved for the hospital we originally got denied at. Much happier now!

    Venison & Elk Meatloaf

    Jason, that recipe and finished product sound and look out of this world. Im a huge game fan, but my wife is not...that she knows of. A buddy of mine hooks me up with elk, deer and even moose when his freezer is full. Ive slipped some game into recipes, she loves it, just doesnt know it...

    Health Insurance Nightmares

    I have liked them till now. Honestly, way better than United that my wife is on through MC. Back on the phone with them. I think the issue is my surgeon isnt credentialled at a non-hospital surgical center and I am not sick enough to need a hospital. It makes some sense, his partner is...

    Health Insurance Nightmares

    What a mess. Ive been on the phone all morning and the ins folks barely tell me anything. I learn more reading the denial letter they sent. I asked the rep why it was denied and she wouldnt speak the words...just said my surgeon needed to call them. Which they have.
