We'll miss you, Pinto.

Thanks for the (good) memories.

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing. nt

You likely are using mostly generics. When using a name brand, you can get stuck

with a higher cost.

I have regular Medicare (based on age, not disability) and Humana Advantage and drugs with Express Scripts.
My generic prescriptions are $4, in a state retirement plan.
I have one name brand, for which I pay $30/mo., and even that had to get an okay from Express Scripts.

You will likely get a large check covering the period back to 2013.

The bad news is that nonpartisan sources predict that SSDI payments are likely to be reduced in the next year or so, because the SSDI fund is running low. Hope it doesn't happen, because SSDI is my daughter's source of income.

Apparently there has been a large increase in the number of applications and approvals of SSDI clients, as many people filed for SSDI when they became unemployed.
I'm not implying that the increased numbers are for non-eligible people, but it seems that many of those people would have struggled on with the jobs they had as long as they could, likely making more money than the SSDI payment.
However, when they became unemployed and not able to find a new job due to low employment outlook, they took the next most viable plan and filed for SSDI.

Prescriptions are covered under part D. Surprised you do not have that part.

Hopefully your Caresource covers some of your prescription costs.

See reply #16.

Good for you for making good things happen.

You're sure to find interest and will likely generate many good conversations.
I hope the Dublin roasters treats you well.

Actually, I like to hear the call-ins. I believe it helps to keep me grounded.

I realize that not all the world sees things as I do.
That way I'm not too surprised or heart-broken when elections don't go the way I had hoped - or voted.

I also keep a close watch on Letters to the Editor in newspapers or online comments.
I must admit it is comforting to come to a like-minded site like DU and trade thoughts and ideas with members here.
