Please use this thread for posting links to articles you would like to share with the community.
Thank you! It’s a issue having the new thread list filled with posts linking an article with only a handful of comments, if any. If an article seems like it would make a good discussion topic, it’s worth starting a thread on that topic.
For just sharing something interesting to read, this thread is a great idea.
Please ensure posted articles are gift-linked/not behind a paywall.
When I run out of NYT gift links, another CCer often comes through with the link. But the only way to find out if someone will is to post it. @ mods, what do you think?
Please only post articles that you can gift link.
I love this story of “mom love”.

This is an article that I think most will see themselves doing all 9 things.
While attempting to avoid media that would raise my blood pressure (no easy feat these days), I came across this charming article:
This is a nice way to help prisoners transition.
Anyone sign up for Medicare D max $2000 out of pocket for prescription drug copay plan? How’s it working for you? It sounds great on paper. A drug rep was talking about it last night, because the medication is company sells is $3000/month!
This is sad but predictable.
Wow, measles in TX and TB in 2 other states, plus bird flu. Are we having fun yet?
Himom, the Part D max out of pocket of $2000 only applies to drugs your Part D covers. So if your doc prescribes something not in your Part D formulary, it doesn’t matter how much you spend on it. It won’t count toward your max out of pocket.
Good to know—important to check out your formulary, which can change with little to no notice, to the detriment of insured folks.
