In all serious though, it's bullcrap.
I used a ER late last year. It was in network, but I still ended up paying over 1000 bucks for the experience. No diagnosis, just that I was not going to die tonight.

So yes, I health care leaves something to be desired.

Is there a better option through Delta for health care for the family? The gold plan doesn't sound very golden.

You still living up there? Hampton (and Hampton Beach in the summer) was were I grew up, but I did fly a C150 from Hampton down to Plum Island many times! I played a lot of hockey in that indoor rink in Newburyport too, and coached my little brother's team there as well. A good buddy of mine (retired DL guy) keeps his power boat at a marina in Newburyport, so in the summer I'll drop by to help him empty his refridgerator.

My Dad had season tickets to the Boston Patriots back in the 1970's, when they played at Harvard Stadium and they lost to...everyone! So I'm always amazed if they even make the playoffs!

I hear both versions of this argument. I haven't looked into it personally, but from what I hear, the bridge health plans aren't very expensive, so I don't know that it is worth any negotiating capital to get a plan. I would love to hear more from the association.

A HS kid should have caught that pass. Brady was under pressure-ball was there. Welker even admitted that he dropped it.

True, behind him and high, but I'm used to seeing Welker make those catches. Brady had his head up his arse on that first play as well....throwing it away while in the end zone?? WT Fark was he thinking?

It was high and behind him. True that he usually makes those, but the pass sucked. I still think it was as much if not more Brady's fault. Actually, the whole game I thought his passes (other than the gimme 5-8 yard Tebow specials) weren't all that great. I guess he thought he was gonna get laid by a supermodel or something when he took home that MVP trophy. bwaaaa haaaa haaaaa Speaking of... Eli's wife is a cutie.. He did well at Ole Miss.

I guess a high school kid could have caught that if he were in the Rivals top 10 receivers.. other than that.. probably not.

How in the world have we allowed a Healthcare system where we get bled dry if we go to the ER? How does the PPO tackle an ER visit?
