Turn CO Blue

17. There is possibly an option this year to go

with Kaiser Permanente Colorado. It's not in cement. It's an HMO, but in Denver they have several dozen offices. I'm not sure that my PPO is giving me all that many options. Last time I had an HMO was over 30 years ago. Guess I'd better do some research.

But regardless, hubby and I are in our 50s, so it sounds like our rates could go up as much as 66% if this stinkfest of Ryancare passes. I'm hopeful the Senate will kill it.
