IMHO Avoid limited partnerships. Because they are "limited", you have no say in how they are managed. Like previous posters, my Dad also got involved in "limited" parterships. Lost money.

The "subcontractor" that handles Medicare, Part B. Got hacked. The "software" got hacked. Nothing to do with inventory or products or shortage. Safeway, Pharmacy, say's, they cannot "process" the paperwork to fill my prescription. I may try a different pharmacy. Thanks for the replies.

Well Care: Buying Jardiance at Costco vs Safeway. Save approx. $ 89 for the 2024 yr. Watch out for the "donut hole". This fooled me. Your out of pocket expense is not used to calculate ($ 4660, 2023 yr) when you enter the donut. ie. The out of pocket expense are the "retail" prices the...

Thanks so much for useful replies.

Simple question: Part D. WellCare. Can I use 2 different pharmacies to fill my drugs. ie. Safeway and Costco. Costco has the better price for Jardiance. Safeway sightly cheaper for the rest. Will, WellCare insurance get confused? Thanks. :flowers:

I think Wellcare for 2024 has a higher deductible. For people with Tier 1 drugs only. Not affected. (my wife). Save $ Myself. Tier 5/6 drug. I pay the higher deductible. I think this is the catch: Zero to no premium. (2024 California $ 0.40 prem). Attracts a lot of new customers. If...

Also on WellCare. Part D. Can be confusing. Was only Tier 1. Generic. Deductible did not apply. No costs for drugs. Only premium $8+. THEN: Started Tier 5/6 jardiance. 1st prescription. 30 day. $500+ deductible applied...

Live in California. Wellcare. Received the same premium notice. Was $8.10 New $ 0. But as others have mentioned deductible went up. Will have to wait and see what Tier 1 drugs will cost. (for 2023, all of wife's/mine generic Tier 1 drugs free). When I started...

Who is still worrying about covid?

No more boosters for me. Have natural immunity.

My "exact" sentiment. Very few people understand by DIY philosophy when I try to explain the Why :dance:

Understand how you feel. 76. Still doing all of the maintenance other's have mentioned. Go to the gym. 6 days a week. Social/light workout. Noticed my "desire" "motovation" starting to slide. However, by forcing myself to "adapt", it keeps my mind and body much stronger than others my age...

No. Got original 2 shots. + Natural immunity. Appear to be covid free for now.
