Passed away before they privatized Medicaid. I am glad I didn't have to deal with the new system (I took care of her finances and medical power of attorney). I would have to say, even with my mom's complaints, that Medicare for her was pretty good. I hope I have it so good in seven years.

I will tell you the hospital care in Iowa was much better than the care my mom received in Florida. Iowa is far from perfect, but there are worst places in the country (at least for now - the GOP is working towards everything being unlivable).

Florida it's 2,000. 12,000 seems reasonable in comparison jimfields33 Feb 2024 #2
