Just spoke with BC/BS since my PPO with them is being terminated. They sent me a suggestion for virtually the same plan minus OTC and I am going to move there after Wednesday. I am also reposting this to Meta

Just starting to explore this as hubs will be 65 in ‘26. Appreciate your expertise shared as my starting reference!

Mel, Nancy - thank you for this post. I'm not based in the US, but I know many people who will appreciate these insights, so I'll restack this post.

My thoughts are with you and your wife, Mel. I'm familiar with hospice care - I cared for my father, I care for my mother now, and I support other caregiver family/friends. Sending strength and empathy to you.

May I link to this article from the 'Giving/Receiving Care Anthology' that I've curated in Carer Mentor, where other writers have shared their US experience of navigating healthcare?

Best wishes.
