My husband & i have wonderful health coverage through retirement packages. It was accepted for 3 years until we were notified that as of 12/31/16 we are out. We can join medicare advantage(way inferior & more expensive than my current plan.) also be warned you are signing up for the 2017 med adv plan. Agents told us many changes possible for 2018 version. Please no rude comments such as "so when are you moving". Not an option for everyone. We made a huge error in moving here. Have no one to blame but ourselves.

Health care is a choice here just like any other place. There are amazing doctors and dentists and some that aren't so great. We wanted to get into that health care system and they wouldn't take our insurance from the very beginning. I think it was created to offer an alternative to some of the really not so great doctors who are around, just like the Southern Lifestyles and the restaurants...but everyone has an opinion as to the reason. It was meant to make money, not lose it for sure.

If you go back and read JoJo's post above, I would say that is how 90+ percent feel.

I love it here. LOVE IT...nine years now.
