The Congressional Budget Office’s just-released economic forecast for 2013 is dispiriting, to say the least. The GDP is expected to grow by only 1.4%, the unemployment rate will “stay near” 8%, the deficit will reach $845 billion, and ObamaCare will cost 7 million their health insurance.

This is why we’re getting all these procedures done before the big crash.
Good thinking!
Ours went from very excellent insurance to ‘catastrophic’. Mike has a medicare card also, not that it means anything…
That Medicare card means something, for now. Probably not much longer but it means something now.We are still fighting the bills from Linda Lou’s broken ankle, just before she qualified for Medicare. We owe twenty percent of the multi-tens of thousands those surgeries cost. Whereas every surgery since has been Medicare 80%, our private insurance, which is now our secondary, picks up the rest. I’m not sure how your catastrophic insurance splits the tab. Find out. And if you have any nagging problems on which you’re putting off repairs, fix them before the system crashes. Then hunker down.

Hmmm… didn’t know the medicare card was good for anything. We need to get some stuff repaired… so easy to put that kind of thing off, though.
