Dear So and So

Those urgent care/medical aid places are awesome. Depending on your insurance, they can be waaaaaaaaay cheaper. (And yes, DH and I are both well acquainted with them )

The problem around here is they are few and far between, and some won't take insurance these days...

Beware though - if the urgent care is affiliated with a hospital (which in a lot of semi-rural areas, that's all there is), they will bill as the ER.

Man, that's a bummer. We are very fortunate where we are.....plenty of them, and even the hospital-affiliated ones take our insurance.

I guess the moral of the story is that every plan is different, and caveat emptor!

Luckily I'm still on my parents' health insurance, so we only paid $100 of it. (Getting them to see that I'm unemployed and don't have other insurance, however...)

Dear State of Illinois,

Thanks for finally offering us the opportunity to "get legal" after 21 years together with the new civil union law... we'll be at the courthouse tomorrow morning.

Grateful citizen.

Thank you. It's been a long time coming.

Jumping on the bandwagon to wish you congrats, Pax! I, sadly, live in a state that has far to go in this department. I wish it were otherwise.
