<p>Went to a meeting at my retired husband’s old company to find out about, among other things, their new retirement medical system. 2 things really worry me</p>
<li><p>The medicare prescription D plan (that he now has to join) does not pay for fertility drugs.</p></li>
<li><p>The hazardous household waste collection day they have scheduled will not accept radio active waste.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Gee - I just don’t know how we will manage - my dream of another baby in in retirement *and *the ability to dispose of all the radioactive waste lying around my house - all shot down in one morning. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Well the medicare D prescription plan *might *be dire as my husband is on a lot of prescriptions - we have not quite figured out if the plan D “donut hole” will cost us more than the $2000 we already pay in copays. . His company is still going to subsidize a medical plan but not prescriptions any more.</p>
<p>Hmm…do you have a light on your vacuum cleaner? If so, that should make the other “situations” bearable. And if you have a light on your snowblower…you will be doubly blessed.</p>
<p>rrah: It reminds me of those drug commercials. Especially the one for symptoms of menopause that say “do not take if you’re pregnant.”</p>
<p>Hey, my mom thought I was a symptom of menopause. Maybe should of known better as I was not the first child, but since my sisters were 16 1/2 and 15, it was probably wishful thinking on her part: menopause vs. mid-life pregnancy, back in the days when it was somewhat less accepted. My older sisters were soooo embarrassed. :)</p>
I was fully expecting some dire news when I read the words retired and medical in the same sentence.</p>
