Didn't realize how lucky I was. My part d drug plan went from $6/year to $0/year. Asked several times, yep zero. Only drug I take is generic simvastatin that is covered at $0 copay. Don't know how they do it. Medicare supplement plan G. 80 year old male.

I think it is given that Ukraine wouldn't attack Russia. But Russia wants Ukraine to demilitarize to what end? So that they will be easier to invade the next time. Promises and agreements aren't worth anything if they don't want to abide by them. Ask the American Indians how some of...
