If you've spent any time at a "Football" game in Europe, you've learned they are pretty indiscriminate about where they relieve themselves. (guard your pant legs and shoes, think Bluto giving directions outside the frat house)

 

I think it is time for ALPA to step up on a national level, engage other pilot unions and find a coop for a health care plan that would do just that, bridge these guys. I would pay $25/mo to move the lead at the top, that $25 would be realized 10 fold in upward movement. But it takes vision on ALPA's part (I put it in my survey and talked at length about it during two phone surveys).
I have a strong feeling many would agree with this type of assessment, I just think it should be reasonable and effective. Just sayin...

 

No, I dont live there anymore. In fact, I haven't been back up there in years except layovers. I ordered my 97 heritage softtail classic new in europe and picked it up at the Hampton beach harley dealer to avoid sales taxes, but that was really the last time I was really up there.

Like any good carpetbagger, I came south and never left.

My brothers both went to UNH. My younger QBed at UNH. For HS, I went to NHS, my older brother went to Governor Dummer and my younger went to Phillips Exeter.

I remember when that hockey rink was being built. Its not new anymore, probably 40 years old. I grew up across the street from the "Lord Timothy Dexter Mansion." There were still "poor" kids when I was in school there. Played a lot of hockey on the "mall". As airline pilots, I am pretty sure most of us couldn't even afford to buy a house (or condo) in Newburyport anymore. Times have changed.

Best sub I ever ate was ferlitas in Nbpt. Probably not even there anymore. Mr K's was an ice cream place that would sell us kids "mistakes" for $.10 . As kids we'd head out on our bikes in the a.m., go all over the place and come back at dinnertime. Nobody thought that was child abuse back then. Good place to grow up.

 

Rodman smashed that stuff to pieces. Luckily she had UHC put that stuff all back together. Ewwww that's so nasty.

 

Not sure about the true utility of this technique, but I did find it an interesting read and something good to have in my hip pocket. BBar should enjoy it.

"How to Survive Hospital Costs Without Insurance"

It is a true shame that Obama-care does not address the real issue.

The problem is that we do not do this business in an open and fair market. You've got one party in desperate need, without pricing information dealing with an enormous Corporation which lacks a body to incarcerate, or a soul to convict. UHC has had themselves exempted from the same laws which govern our conduct with one another.

There is so much low hanging fruit here:

• Why can't Doctors and Nurses have 50 State Reprocity, so they can practice where there is a need, like pilots do?
• Why can't Doctor's provide a menu of services and costs, just like a restaurant, so consumers can make decisions knowing the cost?
• Why do Doctors and Insurers get up to six weeks to tell you what you owe? What other business charges you weeks after you've made the decision?
• Why doesn't UHC have to show you it's contracts which cover you?
• Why doesn't UHC have to provide you with a copy of the policy which covers you?
• Why do anti collusion and anti competitive practice regulations apply to UHC?

In 2010 and 2011, UHC explained its results were better than anticipated because fewer "insureds" are seeking medical care.

 

The plan does cover emergency room services. You just have to meet the deductable first then it covers 80 percent. Hope your daughter is feeling better. I agree our insurance sucks though.

 

Tri-care is available for all Americans. To get it, you just have to volunteer to serve our great country and not just suck on the government teat.

 

A good response would have been that our union should consider negotiating to get the company to pay 100% of all retirees health care premiums until they turn 65.
