A very Happy Birthday to you Sarah! Hope you did something fun.

Hi Neil, It all depends on who you ask. I must admit our system here in the US, unfortunately, is a bit too complicated. I belieive it doesn't need to be that way.

Janie, yes I was aware that Medicaid paid more than Medicare. As I am understanding it (please correct me if I'm wrong) Medicaid is for the poor, and Medicare is for our (pardon the expression you seem pretty young to me) senior citizens?

It would seem that there is a very large billing discrepancy among hospitals, for the same procedures and treatments. Obviously, that needs to be addressed. Also, if our current system is unsustainable, how is Universal Health Care going to be any different? Do we really want our taxes to...

I would rather deal with my insurance company, than the government. I definitely do not feel comfortable with them taking over the health care industry. As far as Medicare, there are Dr's here that do not accept it. Maybe it is a good system for some, but on the other hand I know people that...

John, Thank goodness this was caught in time! Take care

Seems the social engineers of our time, are taking immigration to a whole new level.

Thanks Janie, for the informative article. I appreciate the term "common sense". Doesn't seem to be enough of that today. My apologies for "side-tracking the thread. That was not my intention.

Good to hear you're doing well! Thanks for posting, and take care!

Thank you Bina!!! I like this post!

Thank you Bina!!!!!! I like this post!

Not meaning to start anything but......do other countries, such as the UK, NZ, ect. have an illegal immigration problem to the extent of ours in the USA? Could this possibly be ONE of the contributing factors of health care costs? Just asking

My PERSONAL experience this time around with my health insurance, I have to say, was EXCELLENT. I won't get into the exact cost, but let's just say, it was very affordable. I had one of he very best surgeon's and the best care. I don't like the idea of a total government controlled health...

Looking forward to the photo Dennis.

Thanks Andrea, for the great news!

Dennis, What a lovely, thoughtful thing to do! Yes, I know you will treasure it (and the gesture) for a very long time.

Neil, I was told that I have a murmur. I was under the impression that once your valve was replaced, NO MORE MURMUR! From my understanding, this is a different kind of murmur, and normal. I really can't remember exactly what was said. Please ask your cardio to explain. I think this is...

Great to here you are doing well! You sound very positive, and ready to start life with your new valve! Take care

Jeri, I too, agonized over which valve to choose! I was 56yrs at the time of my surgery, and my surgeon said I could go either way, that's the part that made it so difficult! If I had been in my forties, or maybe even 50 I believe I would have chosen mechanical. To be honest, I didn't...

I don't use Facebook much. Anything personel I always send private. I just don't trust it either. Can't say I'm a big fan. Smart decision Dennis, Bina.
