I decided to retire despite being a ways away from Medicare but this will be dodgy eventually. I’m gonna do the entirety of 18 months of Cobra for sure.

Another co worker ended up starting his own small business solely for the ability to start a group plan - nothing in the ACA exchanges would let him use Stanford. I don’t know the full details - but basically we need all of Washington to just man up and produce a comprehensive national health plan and collect the taxes to fund it

You sound exactly like Ray, now that your career is over you want the rest of us to pay 55% taxes to support “free” healthcare and college like they do in Europe. Everyone rides bikes over there because they can’t afford to drive a car. No wonder you like this idea so much!

Well - I’ll be paying more in taxes in retirement than you did at any point in your life and I’m cool with raising my taxes anyway …

They ride bikes in Europe because the old world is small, and they aren’t fat asses overly consuming McDonald’s (and I include myself in that group).

James Bond isn't riding a bicycle when I am see him on the road.

I retired so I would no longer hear this sort of grammar

I gave a reason bike riding is typical in Europe, not a diatribe that cars don’t exist or aren’t in come cases even necessary. I also see Bond on trains pretty often.

They have good train systems over there. You would not see James Bond taking the Blue Line.

Have you stopped reading the local fishwrap?

Which story would you like out of today's fishwrap ?

I did enjoy the piece about Walz wanting to fight fraud by moving some control of Medicaid managed care organizations to the State DHS. The person leading DHS was just promoted by Walz after serving in leadership roles, including Chief Compliance Officer, during the fraud years.
