    I may be missing the mark here but isn't Medicare a single payer system??  Seems that works for a good sized chunk of the population.
    I actually supported the ACA (Obama care) as a step to get the health care/insurance industry off bottom-dead-center.  Figured that any movement would lead to changes and improvements down the road.  Who knows as we are eight years in and have only tweaked it.  Off small soap-box.

    And this thread sinks slowly into the sunset.

    I’ve been blessed with Cadillac plans for years. I passed up Medicare for a year because I was afraid of losing coverages. Picked up Medicare at 66. The best. Period. So these are “govt” employees? Any question I have is answered promptly.

    I'm impressed with the quality of care my father receives at the VA in IA City, at every unit, ancillary department, we've been too.  

    And I went in, feeling like most of you.

    To try and steer this back on topic - it may turn out that the cops did break the law in the manner that they used to compare the DNA samples to identify the likely killer even though they used a website for publicly sharing genetic info.

    This was an interesting read this morning: https://lawandcrime.com/legal-analysis/golden-state-killer-investigators-may-have-violated-4th-amendment-through-dna-search/

    Just have to wait and see if DeAngelo's attorney tries to make the case to a judge about the potential illegality of the search.

    23andMe can share with participants lists of individuals who are likely related due to shared dna. Yesterday I received a message from a gal interested in exploring our shared ancestry.  Less than 2 hours later she sent to me a family portrait that I reckon to be around 1912.  It was my great great grandparents (whose photos I had never seen) and their 7 children - one being my grandfather.   I had only ever seen 2 photos of my grandfather and in each he was in his 60s+ and the pics were blurry. In this portrait he’s a handsome 22 year-old, and I can see myself in his face.  I got a sense of the courage, resilience, and strength of my immigrant ancestors - as well as their optimism.  1912 San Antonio.

    That portrait - priceless!
