Granny's gone and done it again

Howdy all. Just took our 4 legged pony motor for a walk in the timber. Pretty interesting on the downhills. You better be able to at least trot but up hill is amazing having this little beast of burden pulling you up while she just easily jogs ahead of you.

Prayers for @Rambling Iris and @Nomadicus, especially Larry that his surgery goes smooth and is successful with as little pain as possible.

I got a surprise this morning. I have been making it a habit of going through and auditing the credit card bill after DH's got hit with about 700 dollars with identity theft Uber charges two months ago and did a double take when I got to my Medicare Part D bill/charges. They had almost doubled in January. I have SIlverscript and it went from 54 dollars which it had been for a few years now to almost 100! It was either 94 or 98, can't remember which. Then I got to looking at the available plans and Holy Moses, none of them with the exception of a couple are all that reasonable any longer. What happened? DH asked me if they notified me that the rates were going up and I said no I hadn't gotten anything via Email and they sent me a new card and I scanned the letter with it but don't remember them saying they were going to be sticking it everyone.

Anybody else's go up?

I have a Medicare advantage plan I pay 48 dollars a month for. It includes my prescription plan. Do you have a straight Medicare plan and pay for a prescription plan separately?

Yep. The last time I looked at a medicare advantage plan my doctor wasn't a preferred provider on any of them. I'm going to have to check into them along with something more 'user friendly' this November. Told DH that if I knew they were going to double their premium I would have been looking last November. That's what you get for falling asleep at the wheel.

They should have informed you. We have a really good insurance gal who goes over all our options at the beginning of the time you can change.

Yeah that is only thing that keeps me on the plan I am on. I don’t want to have to train another Dr. so far they have always given me referrals for everything I ask for. Even my PT. I DID HAVE TO PAY 150 a day for the hospital but really I am sure that was just a drop in the bucket for what the charged for my operation.
