I had to get on Obombocare when I first retired. It suck big donkey balls. $1,800 a month for me. Only had a choice of one plan. None of my doctors was in that plan. So I had to fine new doctors in that plan to take me. I got on a Christian based health care for $480 a month until I got on Medicare. And because of a little item in Obombocare. I had to pay $48,000 in back taxes. :mad:

What caused you to be taxed on it. What little item was that. $1800 a month I just would have went without. Fluck that.

We had adjusted our income down to get the tax credit for Obombocare. Then right after Thanksgiving. We pulled a little extra money out of my retirement account. That little bit put us over the limit for the tax credit for Obombocare for the year. We had to pay back the tax credit for 2 different years. :mad: Once off of Obombocare. We adjusted our income back up.

Basically, catastrophe insurance. Same plan with the “affordable health plan” was just under $2500 a month, so that was a non-starter.

All in all, I’d say the worst part was the cough. Never did I think I might need to the hospital and I certainly didn’t think I was going to die. It was pretty much the worst flu I ever had. Maybe that was due to the jab, I don’t know....

Wife tested negative and she’s just tired, achey with a wet cough. If she doesn’t get better in the next couple of days we’re going to a doc-in-a-box and see what’s up. I’m thinking maybe bronchitis, but we’ll see.

The good news is she’s cut way back on her smoking.

Tested positive for Covid for the second time. 2 days of the sniffles. I’ve had worse hangovers.

Latest variants (BA4 and 5) are less destructive than the early versions. My household got it too. Nowadays we can honestly call it flu-like. Glad that we’ve gotten to this point.
