1. Hello – thanks to all for this invaluable info. Jennifer and Catherine have mentioned a transportation policy through AAA, but Ima having no luck finding info. I see trip insurance – where you have to fill out specific info and I see regular auto insurance. I can ask at my local office, but I want to make sure I am giving them the correct name/info. Any help is welcome. Thanks you.

   1. Susan,
      It is hard to find on the AAA website. It’s called Accident Insurance. I did put a link to it in my never ending list above. https://www.aaalife.com/accident-insurance I just love AAA, they are a great company.
      Hope that helps,
      Jen

2. Matt, I had no idea you were also writing articles for Solari. This is awesome, I am glad you are recognized for your knowledge base and contributions to humanity. You are certainly someone who lives it and is in the trenches from what I know of you when you did as I did and got your family out of a fascist state at a time when no one seemed to understand why voting with you feet is so powerful.

   1. Thanks for that comment.

3. Absolutely excellent info packed presentation! Just what I have been looking for. One thing that you did not address as how to use a HSA with all of this. I hate the health insurance, but was required to have it to put my son through engineering school. I have an HDHP with an HSA. Only use the HSA for dental expenses, as every DR visit has only resulted in a myriad of bad experiences. Everything from “you need your thyroid removed” to “you likely have rheumatoid arthritis”. Not to mention everything I went through with my sons sinus issues. Long story short, I don’t go to the doctor, I am not on medication. Neither is my husband or my son. We have lost all faith in the medical establishment. I watched my mom die in the hospital due to the opioids they had prescribed for years along with the complications from spinal surgery.
   I have many family members who are nurses, sadly they are all (5) part of the cabal, all fraud injected and trusting the “science”.
   I ramble, thank you so much for the invaluable information.

   1. Pam,
      I am actually dealing with HSA stuff right now! A relative of mine has a HSA that he never needed to use until now. In fact, he didn’t remember he had it anymore. lol I think he could have been using it for a variety of health related costs but, that is water under the bridge. I found a great site and tells you what your HSA can be used for and their contact info that will lead to better answers than I can give for sure.

      After he left the HMO that was part of his retirement health plan, he terminated his contributions to the HSA. He was afraid he would lose his money in the plan but that was not the case for us. The Medicare Part G plan under BlueCross isn’t part of an HSA contribution but we have been able to access the funds for repayment of a couple of things. There is also a way for him to just cash the money out, that comes with a penalty fee. But we are focused on using it towards his medical supplies.
      I will let you know if we run into huge obstacles but for now it seems we can use the HSA funds for anything on the approved medical list:

      Again, check it out for yourself with people that know this way better than I do.
      BTW, one of the medical supplies was Rx’d by a doctor who was not on Medicare or part of his healthcare plan. It was just a Rx for catheter supplies written by a private pay doctor. We bought the supplies ourselves, followed instructions from his HSA and sent in the forms and we were reimbursed. Fingers crossed it keeps working that way.
      Have a great weekend,
      Thanks for your comment!

   1. Thank you! Keep up the great work.

5. Corey on the issue of Hospice my Mom passed at home and we utilized Dispatchhealth to come into the home and do the bloodwork and the tests and we worked with Hospice at the same time. And it was extremely helpful. Medicare covered Dispatchhealth. With that said all the family members chipped and took care of her until she passed.

   1. James,
      Thank you for your comments!
      I am so glad you were able to gather together with hospice help at the end of her life. I am so sorry she passed, but so glad she wasn’t alone.
      I work in home health and sometimes we are given Hospice patients. Nothing is more important than having family around people when they pass. I am so glad that there is coverage for such an important part of our lives.
      My blood boils that during the lockdowns so many patients died without skin to skin contact of a hand or a warm kiss on their forehead.
      So excited about your podcast! Sounds extremely helpful!
      Have a great weekend, Jen

6. I have been in complimentary care for 37 years now. With that said I don’t believe we should throw the baby out with the bath water meaning we need allopathic care for emergencies. So self care needs to be taught to pat and healthcare providers which I’m going to be doing in podcasts soon about self care techniques. So thank you for helping individuals find their way thru the medical system.
