That was a weird night

Hope it turns out OK! (No Cardio problems)

How is the paperwork going for the ACA thing???
No.
I'm not bating you, I have some self-employed friends who are getting shanked out of their coverage and I'm curious about coverages and costs.
I didn't want to probe too deeply into their personal finances, and I'm just gathering data. I've got union coverage (for now) and as much as the costs are going up......I'm still nowhere close to considering the ACA.

Just curious about costs now versus projected costs.
Besides.....you don't have anything else to do....right?

Good Luck Marine!

 

Good luck on your recovery Bob. Like you said it was mighty fortunate you were in the ER when this happened.

 

Good luck, Bob! I hope you get better soon and it does not recur. Glad you were in the ER when it happened. Getting old is no fun.

 

Glad to hear you have recovered.

 

^BTDT.
The company that I used to work for got bought out by SAIC, which is what led me into the warm loving embrace of Big Bell.
So far our coverage is pretty dang decent, but I'm dubious about the next contract and I'm hearing drums deep in the jungle that indicate that my job might be either contracted out or transmorgified into a "management" position.
I'm thinking that I can leg it out until Tricare or the ACA sucks less than private coverage - but I'm healthy (so far) so I can afford do stare-and-compares for a bit longer.

Good Luck with the hospital stay!
Leave the nurses alone, and don't worry!!!



....you can't kill bad grass!

 

I've had tri-care for life along with Medicare, for some years now. Not a problem.

 

Hopefully a quick recovery and back to normal

 

Get well Bob!
I have to vote soon in VA and I was sure you are very interested in that as an alumni.
Wish me luck...I wish you luck!!!

PS- At one point I nominated ETC(SS) for Governor, which is why his job description says "Former Gubnatorial Candidate"

 

Bummer, but glad you are recovering.

My new wife has one of those employer insurance policies that deserves to die: low premiums & co-pays, but a MAX of $15K per year in benefits. That's less than a day in the ICU. She's now enrolled as a member on my policy.

 

yikes! glad you still have your sense of humour! praying for a full recovery, all the best!

 

I'm glad Bob is still with us. He is a very valued resource here.

Witnessing but not recognizing a mild heart attack in my dad while he was under my care was, in hindsight, quite scary. ['mild' = it took six weeks before an old ER doc recognized what it really was, the rest of us and two younger docs didn't.]

I started my application process (through my state's website, not the federal one) on Opening Morning, and finally surmounted the last of many roadblocks to reach successful completion on Day 23. But it took until Day 30 for the support center to finally got back with answers to the last of my queries for assistance, which by then had been long resolved through other channels.

Right now, I'm quite frosted by that PR lie 'If you like you health plan, you can keep it'. It ranks right up there with 'Read my lips, no new taxes', 'I never had sexual relations with that woman', and 'Mission Accomplished'.

 

I wish you the best of health.
Was it a penicillin allergy?

 

Wait, I'm trying to understand what happened. You had a drug reaction, went to ER, got another drug and almost died?

They say, if doctors go on strike, less people die. I believe it, has been scientifically proven.

 

I recall my uncle many decades ago having a mild heart attack. I believe he was early 60's border line obese with high cholesterol and mild hypertension. He meet with a cardiologist who basically created a cardiac recovery program including lose weight, exercise daily with long walks , eat right to lower meat and increase veggies, throttle back on work and take some medicine to lower cholesterol and blood pressure , quit smoking, drink less just red wine one glass a day etc. He made a big change in his life and lived another 25 years. He got a build in swimming pool to exercise and joined a support group to keep him on plan.
For many this can be a wake up call to make positive change.
