This is why I love living here

That’s so kind thank you. It’s the same neurological condition that Billy Joel the singer has. I just happened to have read about it and it matched my hubs exactly. Outcome super terrifying if not treated. Grateful I read the article. Life’s weird.

I had a tough day today. In all seriousness my husband has a rare neurological brain disorder and is being scheduled for brain surgery followed by heart surgery some weeks after. And your post made me laugh out loud. Thx!

I love Providence too. I have original Medicare and then a Providence plan G Medigap coverage.

Totally! And pre-existing conditions. My husband got a cat scratch in his 20s and it caused Endocarditis which made him a 'pre-existing'. I carried our medical insurance via my job but that meant I couldn't change jobs - that lasted 12 years until the law was changed.

Or deductibles and then 'out of pocket' maximums. Last year my husband and I paid $9000 for the out of pocket maximum (he was on ACA) for his cardiac procedure that was two hours long and he was home the next day. PLUS the $8000 annual in premiums. It's not sustainable.

Agree. And do you know that on average there’s only approx 20-40 people peacefully protesting daily. The ice facility is only one block long. And the Cottonwood elementary school of ethics&science, which is located nextdoor to ICE had to move this past August due to the agent’s violence & teargas.

On average there’s approx 20-40 peaceful protesters outside the Portland ICE Facility daily. The facility is only one square block long. Due to the ICE agent’s teargas and violence the Cottonwood elementary school of Ethics & Science next door to Portland ICE had to move this past August.

Thanks from Oregon.

Just an FYI, Trump was involved in 4000 lawsuits at the time of his election in 2016. That is his MO. Threaten and drown them in legal fees until they give up just as you mentioned.

I can personally vouch for this. Chicken pox at 4 yrs old and shingles in my 30s. Shingles feels like being stabbed all day long for months. Super miserable.

I noticed that not one member of the big boy out of shape ice agents, ended up in Los Angeles’s actual dangerous locations where actual undocumented gang members live. Weren’t they supposed to round up criminals? Why did they take mom’s and kids?

As effective as thoughts and prayers. Meh.

I agree 100%. They’re not deporting people. They are detaining them instead for profit to be paid for by our tax dollars. This is a total nightmare.
