Appreciate the link to this article. I'm among the non-TV cohort, and one reason is the oppression of advertising. Of course, ads are everywhere your eyes fall these days. I'm extremely grateful for the option on this forum--for a contribution, you get AD FREE access. Try it. You'll like it! And no gruesome side-effects.

The other day I sat down to read my Medicare plan Evidence of Coverage book. Just in case I might run into some reimbursement issue. The formulary is amazing--and it's described as "partial." How do docs keep up with all this stuff? My only med is a generic thyroid supplement, which I get for $0. But who could I trust if some med might actually help some condition I might have??

And what about folks who can't or won't read and research to be informed about such things?

Well, I'm not going to lose any sleep over this. I can't afford that fuzzy critter that spells SLEEP.
