This review made my day when reading it. I wish more Americans understood what many expats find out. Sure wish more got the memo...

$659 a month, on a credit card, for a plan with a $10,000 deductible.
That's Sheila Robinson, 61, in Maryland. Arthritis, a pinched nerve, high blood pressure. "I am just afraid to even go to the doctor."
So she's paying nearly $8,000 a year in premiums for the privilege of paying full price for every blood pressure check and refill until she hits $10,000.
Insured and still scared of the waiting room. Impressive engineering.
A $10,000 deductible isn't a design. It's a dare.
Direct Primary Care flips the order: flat monthly fee, a doctor who knows your name, visits and texts included, labs and generics priced in plain dollars up front. Keep a leaner plan for the hospital and the ICU.
Stop routing the oil change through the collision policy.

As we grow older, we need fewer calories but more protein and nutrients. A paradox? Not really. #aging #health #lifestyle #Food medium.com/beingwell/what-do…
@grok Back in late July, our company’s X account was compromised. I had posting permission so X can see that. The hacker hijacked the handle. Our account now has a different X handle with all the followers.
No warnings despite 2FA. Account owner was verified using a government issued ID, and it was a paid account.
It seems the support people are not doing their job. This should not take that long if we have the proof X wants to prove who the owner is.
Tell me who is ultimately responsible for this support area. Also, aside from providing all the required information support wanted (3 times and counting) what else can we do?

Life is like a guitar. @ericchurch offers a brillianct commencement address (and guitar lesson) at his alma mater, UNC, that belongs in the pantheon of addresses of this sort with those of Steve Jobs (Stanford) and David Foster Wallace (Kenyon College).
RIP Don Gibb. I met him in Chicago and got to know him a bit. We shared Bobby Carradine stories to much laughter and fond memories. He was a gentle giant and a good egg, as my dad’s generation would say.

I’ve spent 9+ years building Plum Health, a Direct Primary Care practice.
This is what it looks like in 2026.
We are delivering affordable, accessible, and excellent care for our patients, their families and large employer groups.
RIP Chuck Norris. We lost a fine human being. Heaven gained, and Bruce Lee now has a worthy sparring partner.

This story was truly heartwarming. I found it in the CBS archives. A man approaches a CBS reporter in Russia after realizing they are American and shares the story of his captivity. He had been held in a concentration camp alongside American soldiers, separated from them by a large fence.
Each American soldier received five kilos of food from the Red Cross every Friday, but the Germans allowed nothing for the Red Army POWs. They were given only a small amount of soup each day and were constantly starving.
Some U.S. soldiers came up with a plan with the Red Army POWs across the fence to throw food over to the Russian prisoners. The plot was eventually discovered, and the Gestapo brought all 8,000 American soldiers outside and demanded they reveal the names of the Russians involved on the other side. Not a single American opened his mouth or betrayed them.
That AI voice on YouTube and other channels is officially so annoying to the point of an immediate next clip flick.
Can I get an Amen?
This is who I envision as him
Paraphrasing a wise axiom: the prompt is more important than the answer. Try this Grok Expert prompt to see how much NYC can save on employee healthcare costs using proven techniques:
Analyze NYC’s employee health plan and show me the cost savings using FairCo$t. Take into account that starting in 2026, HSA’s will enable Direct Primary Care memberships. Also show me how each city employee’s total out of pocket decreases. Apply what Marilyn Bartlett did for Montana state employees. Finally, create and easy to understand summary with a table showing the cost savings for NYC, given the total insured, then show the monthly raise each city employee would have by doing the plan the right way.

Maybe it’s a sign of the times that I direct most of my email to trash, so that I just go through the few I want to keep? No need to waste time deleting…
Am I alone doing that?
The power of being able to care for patients… Gotta hand it to my friend Dr. Paul Thomas @PlumHealthDPC to show the way. Starting with one clinic. This is how we can save a trillion in healthcare costs. Get primary care right first! Got that message @elonmusk ?
I always ask: Where was the primary care doc preventing this in the first place? And no mention of it either…
Imagine getting an alert on your wrist telling you something’s wrong with your heart—despite feeling perfectly fine.
