The Future of Health Care

I've moved on from NYC to Florida (via Columbus Indiana). Jim and I are here at the Mayo Clinic for Jim's physical. Jim 'gets' a physical every 2 years through Cummins. It's a generous benefit for him and I always thought that if he contracts Dung Fever or the Bubonic Plague on one of his trips, he will feel better knowing his blood pressure is under control thanks to the Mayo Clinic!

I learned about a new Mayo program I thought all my readers (2) might be interested in. Mayo has a new 'Medallion' program where you pay a fee (I was told it was 'hefty') and you get fast access to emergent care and you can talk to a doctor whenever you wish. I asked if they take insurance, which they do, once you get in their club. I'm sending Mr. Obama a note about it later. I'm sure he will love the idea.




Here's Jim as he leaves the exercise echo where everyone told him he was a 'Machine'.

Our next step is to sign up for Medallion status. That way Jim can talk to a doctor when he gets Dung Fever to learn he's hosed.
