[Magdalen] Insurance / was Prayer Requ

[Lynn Ronkainen]

...and these days my insurance has no co-pay just full pay on all but annual physical with a 10G deductible so I can then pay 30% after I reach that. All told, before I get 70% coverage in a given year I would already be 15G out of pocket. I never thought I'd be looking forward to 65 in "only" 2.5 more years.  At best only 15G for my insurance costs between now and then...

Not just the extra step, but a visit to the primary care doctor and a copay
to get the referral.  That gets really expensive really fast....
