    And yet, the Opperman Foundation is giving the RBG award established in her name for powerful women, to—Musk, Murdoch, Mike Milliken, and Martha Stewart. So at least one is a woman, but she and Milliken spent time in jail for breaking the law, Milliken I think ten years. I hope the Ginsburg family sues to get her name taken off it.

    What on earth makes you think McConnell would have given a confirmation hearing to anyone if she’d stepped down? Didn’t he prove his chicanery enough to make the point?

    A pharmacist at my local CVS says corporate cut 20 hours a week from the pharmacies’ hours but still expects them to get all the things done they used to have that extra 20 hours to do it in.

    My little phoney and I. Not me and… You always put the other person (or object, in this case) before yourself in both good grammar and good manners.

    As do the insurance companies—while subjecting you to denials of services and meds like always and running a sky-high deductible in many cases.

    The problem is the kids reading this strip who will think this just gave them permission.

    See my comment below—we recently had to walk through all this. Get classic+supplemental, and you only get one lifetime six-month chance to do that without having to prove you’re healthy enough to be accepted. Far cheaper over time and far less limiting re doctors and care. Also a warning: a friend was covered at work so he didn’t sign up for Medicare, ended up in the hospital, and his work insurance refused to cover the hospital charges on the grounds that he should have had Medicare part A by that age!

    Partly in answer to Brent Rosenthal above. And the answer is: get classic Medicare (80% coverage) with a Medigap supplemental plan (the other 20%.) Do not get a (dis)Advantage Plan; those are 1980s-‘90s worst of HMO-days throwbacks, run by insurance companies and denying you care and any doctors outside a small group while you pay for the advertising to bring in more customers. They sound cheaper—as long as you stay healthy. One cancer diagnosis can completely upend that. And you only get one shot for six months at 65 to get accepted into the old Medicare+supplemental without having to prove you’re healthy enough to qualify. The supplemental may cost a bit more than the Advantage plans; do it anyway. You can be anywhere and be treated by anyone with the classic.
