That's good information on the insurance and medicare, thanks.

But to be honest, if getting the Shingles is anything like my friend has experienced, I would pony up the $250 in a heartbeat. Heck if I could afford it I would be tempted to pay $1k to avoid that kind of lingering pain if that is what it cost. Yowza!
