Something that somewhat resembles a single-payer health care system, but is not

A day off has once again had the effect of making me stronger. The wind was light today and it ended up feeling like a tailwind in all directions. The two hour ride took well under two hours.

The Fairgrounds is already closed for the show that doesn't even start until tomorrow.So everyone be forewarned, there will be lots of old cars on the streets of Roseville, Falcon Heights and the Como and Saint Anthony Park neighborhoods of Saint Paul this weekend. And there will be lots of traffic delays. I recommend that most travel be done by bicycle.

This came in the mail, it seems kind of like a big deal.According to Wikipedia, Medicare in the United States somewhat resembles a single-payer health care system, but is not.

As with the earlier this week tax adventure, I find the arrival of this piece of mail to be surprisingly satisfying.

Welcome to socialized medicine. In this country we take care of our old people.

Get a good supplemental policy.

Are you really getting that old?

Nice job on the sub two hour two hour ride.

BTW. It isn't free. They'll deduct the premiums from your check. The premiums are based on your income. Have fun working your way through it all.
