Years ago we stayed with BCBS that cost a bit more just to have coverage about in where in the USA. I am really confused but that is par for the course. I am still confused by why the techs hooked up our cable modem cut the cable three foot short this week and moved my wireless router down in the basement a bit. The phones and internet died 8 hours after they left.
After I showed them the outlet to use and they said they understood they plugged it into an extension cord that lost power when the lights were cut off. They had agreed to leave the Cat 5 cable 15 foot longer than needed to get to the current router location but cut it 3 foot short of where it was setting (shorting me by 18' I guess you could say. Then there is the quarter inch hole they drilled from inside to the outside through the siding that was not even need but that is off subject. Well at least the techs were funded by TARP funds and our kids can pay the interest on that until they die.
My point is the right and and left hand connected to the same brain seems to lack central communication. The sad part those of us that really need others to do a good job can get our needs bypassed. Due to my physical limitations I could get even get the new router configured because of the short cable.
Hopefully the system will evolve to meet our needs but I do see the governments point and need to reduce health care cost. Making it less accessible should help reduce health care cost for us baby boomers not that we are becoming a liability to the system instead of an asset like over the past 35-50 years.
Nation wide health care access is critical for anyone with a mobile life style.
