What the Affordable Care Act Has Done for Me - #3

In two previous posts I mentioned how I had benefitted from the Medical Loss Ratio rule in the Affordable Care Act. In 2012 and 2013, respectively, I received checks for $357.56 and $75.95.

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas did not give me another rebate until this year, when I received a check for $196.76. That means that so far I've received a total of $629.77.

Thanks, Obama!

I'll Have the Usual, Doctor

I've had enough surgeries in the past twelve years that they've almost become routine. But, of course, they never really become routine, because every surgery is a ghastly experience. After all, surgery is basically just a sophisticated way to sew human flesh.

Anyway, my right adrenal gland was removed on July 30. I spent one night in the hospital and came home the following evening. I'm now recovering from four incisions on the right side of my abdomen.

I'll post more when I feel up to doing so.
