Loving It!

Loving what you ask?  Well.....for starters...

We are loving it that Bessie has 4 heaters.  So we are snug with this arctic weather, perhaps a practice run for Alaska?  The heaters are:  electric, electric heat pump, propane, and now a little room floor fan.  The electric roof heater won't work below outside temps of 32 (which we discovered in the middle of the night when the heat pump started rumbling along)--so we bought a little room floor fan at Home Depot and wow it puts out some heat.  Since we are in an RV Park we are using the electric hook up saving propane for days down the road.

We are loving the free TV that comes with the RV Park.  Gosh, we can watch the NFL highlights and be grateful we only have frigid temps and not that white stuff.

And, I must say, Obamacare.  I am loving it!  I know this is not a blog for political comments but this is personal.  I am grateful to have insurance effective January 1, 2014.  Today, I signed up through the Washington Health Plan Finder (thus spared the healthcare.gov experience) and found multiple options from multiple health plans at reasonable prices.

In 2011 (post COBRA),  I had checked out my options in the individual insurance market.  It was ugly:  all sorts of pre-existing clauses, limited benefits, high copays, and really high premiums.  I gambled I could do without insurance...and so far, so good.

So with Obamacare...I will have comprehensive benefits through a premier HMO.  All for about 55% of what I would have paid 3 years ago for insurance in name only....
