Hey all, here I go. This blog will be thoughts, ideas, rants, suggestions, opinions and life learned posts. First off I must start with family, my two incredible and wonderful adult daughters! Now I know I am not the only one who had an influence on raising them. I do truly believe  " that it takes a village to raise a child ". I do realize that the raising starts at home, but also know that there are many other influences that contribute to their growth. And I must say, Nice job girls, you have made your daddy VERY PROUD. OK, a quick shout out to my sister and brother and mother, " HEY ". Today's post will be simple. Do you know that if you qualify for Social Security Disability Insurance, you are NOT eligible for Medicare for 24 months? Just doesn't seem right. Of all the people who would need Medicare, I would think disabled would be towards the top of the list. There was a law passed in the 70's as a cost cutting measure to install the 24 month waiting period. So here you are, disabled and trying to get Health Insurance, WOW. Do you know how expensive that gets? I DO! VERY expensive, I took a 44% cut in pay and now pay double for insurance coverage. WOW! That's it for today, just needed a starting point. CHOW MOI
