I'm not there yet but will certainly take this under advisement when I am. And I don't want to be dealing with this "Accountable Care Organization" bullshit which will have the entire thing privatized in a decade when I'm there either. And it seems "Medicare Advantage" is not so great either so will avoid that if I can.

Ugh.
