I've heard of many funky differences. Here's just one:

Our next door neighbor moved in and began pickleball lessons as soon as she landed.

She began practicing and then playing everyday.
Within the 1st months of play, she fell backwards and got very hurt.
Rushed to the E.R., she learned of several breaks to her elbow and needed surgery.
She is on Medicare Advantage.

She had to wait for TEN DAYS before it was approved. She was in excrusiating pain, but was given opioids to aid her.

Everyone was shocked and didn't understand. She and her husband said it was due to their Medicare Advantage Plan.
Glad we're not on that.
