Yeah, KB0MAI. You know, I find this very humorous that you guys are talking about this because I got bills spread all over my table. And guess what kind of bills they are? All medical bills. So I almost got it figured out. I almost got everything done. I'm writing checks this time for everything. Now I'm not putting credit cards or HSAs or anything like that. I'm going to do all checks, all stamps, I'm going to mail them out, get them in a week or two, maybe three, who knows. And I ain't gonna worry about it no more. But yeah, medical can be extremely expensive. There's no doubt about it. I am lucky with my wife, she's decided she wants to work another year and a half. She wants to finish up this year. We didn't have another contract for next year. So the Let me see, 26, 27, somewhere 27 when she decides to, you know, call it quits. And her insurance is $90 of paychecks, that's $180 a month, and her deductible is only $1,000. So I mean, that's really a blessing. up until this year, it got a little bit more stringent, but it's still not bad. Compared to when we put her on Medicare, it's gonna run as probably, I think we figured for her, it's been about right at $450. I'm not gonna do advantage for her. I'm just gonna go for the best that I can get for her because she does go to the doctor a lot and she's had many of operations, right? And there's still going to be a I think it's seven thousand up to a seven thousand dollar deductible going that route So it's going to be different when she finally goes on her insurance and Then you know 90 or 180 to that plus, you know a thousand dollar deductible to about a $7,000 in the back of all and of course since she's gonna be 67. There's always going to be more probable causes for her to raise up redo that deductible every year you know and then for me I pay extreme amount I have paid an extreme amount of money I think well you know the premiums have only been like 300 a month for me and that's just for the medical side of it and I have a 1,700 out of pocket and then a six thousand dollar total bill if whatever happens but then they play games with it and they go well this here is going to be a just a straight pay of 150 or 200 there you know whatever and they're not really including it in the deductible so they're playing playing kind of footsie with me but that's all gonna end here real soon in fact it really has ended. I pretty much switched over to a new service and it's gonna be much much cheaper and it's now I really don't want to talk about it too much today on that part but it's just you know it's gonna be a whole lot better for me than you know in the long run and I get to cover my medications because you know everything is getting so expensive i think i told you guys before what my medications cost i'm running just on two medications alone i'm running something like sixty five thousand dollars a year and uh you know that's just nuts and if i didn't have the insurance i'd probably be dead now you know that's that's the real crook crook this is for For Peter Station, Kilo Kilo 7, November, Quebec, November, all-star node 6222.
