Dbusonne,

I agree and share your concerns. Recent news articles about 3 of the largest insurers pulling out of selected states (Obamacare) only points to more problems. They cannot turn a profit, apparently because there are not enough healthy young people signing up. Now add todays news that the insurance companies are going to raise rates (large significant increases) on long term care plans. None of this is good news.
We have decided to not accept VHS generous offer of using their Advantage plan because of the very real possibility of care being withheld due to excessive costs to the plan. This is not acceptable.

I have no idea where this is headed. I also have a very real concern with the current generation of youngsters that think they are "entitled" to whatever they want. I our era, no one was "entitled" to much of anything, we WORKED for what we wanted, and for our retirement.

It will be interesting to see how this discussion goes. Hope we can keep it civil.
