In my case if the COLA adjustment is too high compared to the adjustment of the QMB earnings limit, I will lose all of my free medical benefits:( I did the math for 2027 and everything is good, but I'm squeaking by with about a $5 margin. Perhaps in 2028 the math will turn against me?

I'm doing church right, I don't go ever;) My religion is a private thing between myself and my god. I don't need a bunch of hypocrites to tell me if I am doing it right or not. And yes, you guessed it, I am definitely not a Christian:)

I gotta call this one, it is medical science being stupid in only a way doctors/experts without common sense can be. Yes, I can stand up without using my hands. But why would I? It takes a lot more effort and even when I was a kid and a young adult I never did it (unless maybe my hands were...

When my time is drawing near I'm going to surround myself with strippers, booze and rock n roll! :ROFLMAO:

@Marie Miller Sorry, I'm not sure what you're asking?

Well, I have savings in the bank and own my property outright. I qualified for QMB and have zero Medicare premiums, copays, deductibles and anything else medical that is approved by Medicare. It is regulated by the state Medicaid program and also includes some perks for dental and a debit card...

I avoid AI like the plague. No chats, no searches, no videos, or audio stories. The second I realize a video or audio story is AI generated or narrated I simply move on. As you can imagine it is getting more and more difficult to find human based content:( For me using the internet for...

I hated school, other than hanging out with my delinquent friends. Academically I was taught nothing that I didn't already know after about 5th or 6th grade, a real waste of time. Not counting the abysmal academic performance in today's classrooms, one of public schools main agendas is to...

To keep a 12 volt lead acid battery healthy in a car not driven much, topping it off once a week with a battery tender is plenty.

I don't drink alcohol, so I guess that makes me very boring?

@Beth Gallagher Thanks for asking and I'd like to think I'm doing pretty good overall:) You have the right mindset and motivation, things will get better for you(y)

@Beth Gallagher, I think you are doing a fantastic job researching and looking for causes and solutions. Don't give up or get overwhelmed;) Just keep putting one foot in front of the other and you will surely make some progress. Like you I had cancer treatment (head and neck radiation) and...

My uneducated opinion on how to keep healing from slowing down as we age: Keeping from losing muscle mass and tone is important. Your muscles are a shield and shock absorber that help protect you from serious injury. Obviously tendon and bone strength play a similar role. Ingesting enough...

I gave my stimulus payments to my ex-wife and daughter, don't want the next one either. I expect absolutely nothing worthwhile from my government and they never fail to live up to my expectations.

This whole renaming thing is ridiculous, childish and idiotic. Just a waste of money, resources and time.:(

Unfortunately even today there are still idiotic procedures and cures being practiced by the medical community. You would think that with our "enlightened and advanced" medical knowledge this kind of ignorance would be mostly in the past. The culprit? Big Pharma having control of the medical...

I use self check-out and modern style grocery stores are not a deal breaker. Over the top data collection/surveillance and dynamic pricing are not something I tolerate. No more grocery shopping at Walmart. Fry's Foods is a nice grocery store with a more classic style as a bonus.

@Ken Anderson Perhaps some stretching, deep massages and specific exercises can help with the rotation of the left foot and flexibility of reaching your right foot? According to some physicians and so called "experts" a common cause of senior falls is reduced strength which causes balance...

Perhaps a few basic tests based on simple exercises might shed some light on the falling issue? If there is any abnormal weakness or imbalance issues that present themselves this would go a long way towards a correct diagnosis. Simple things like a few body weight full squats, standing on one...
