That poor guy must feel awful, losing his job, his wallet, his replacement wallet ,
( And maybe his mind, his confidence, his equilibrium...). Ok I'm projecting but that was my DH a while back. I feel for you both.

Oh my gosh, how exhausting! He needs to stay home for a few days. Or maybe get one of those wallets with the chain & clip it to his belt loop.
My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So far today, I have finished two bags of M&Ms and a chocolate cake. I feel better already!
I did suggest a biker wallet with a chain - I happen to work one day a week in a t-shirt shop that caters to bikers and has these types of wallets. Not sure he's going to go with that but he said that he was going to keep his wallet in the shoulder bag he uses to carry his insulin stuff around in. Now we just have to keep track of THAT bag at all times. He has a bit of ADHD so I am cognizant of all his stressors right now. I suggested he go back to his doctor and get some more ADHD meds (he only gets 30 Aderall every three months). We'll see.
Right now we are still in the mess of trying to get me some sort of health plan. I seem to be stuck in the quagmire of healthcare plans by qualifying this month for one type of Medicaid that only caters to people that need birth control (lol, I am way past menopause) and then starting August 1st I'll be on a true Medicaid plan except by then we'll have to report his unemployment income and that will kick me off that plan because between my SSDI and his unemployment we will be earning too much. Only the will I be released to get on the ACA...it's really ridiculous. I am waiting for a call back from one agency to see if they can get me on the ACA asap so this isn't some weird drawn-out debacle.
I remember when DH was toggling off an ACA plan onto Medicare and there was a 6 minth period where he didnt qualify for ACA according to the little gubmnt bureaucrats because he had $0 income with me no longer carrying the ACA policy. They wanted to push him off onto Medicaid. Not on life was he going to do that.
We just kept sending the little bureaucrats paperwork and they kept asking for more, and we knew we had to maintain a only few months of that ridiculous paperwork exchange until he could officially get onto Medicare. The default with the ACA was that once covered, while your eligibility for renewal was bing evaluated you were still covered. I think anyway. I know I was worried during those few months, about 3 months of real worry.
Despite spending more time on the phone, my healthcare situation is still not resolved. There is no way around it - it seems that up until the end of the month I only qualify for the Family Planning Medicaid (nothing in it works for me as I don't need birth control nor pre-natal care). On August 1st I start Medicaid but by then our income will most likely be to high for me to stay on Medicaid and ONLY then will I be released to be able to apply for the ACA. No if, ands or buts and I am too hot and grumpy to keep calling to try and figure out a way to expedite it.
And weirdly enough, K's former employer STILL hasn't sent any information to us about COBRA so I don't know what is going on with that. I have cancelled about 5 different appointments in these past two weeks due to the fear of somehow being on the hook to pay for these appointments.
Edited To Update: we found out for some reason it can take up to 45 days for COBRA information to be sent (by law). What kind of weird rule is that? I just wanted to know how much it was going to cost us to buy a month or two of COBRA. It's buyer beware - I'm not running up a bunch of bills only to find out that COBRA is some astronomical sum anyway...
I would be nervous too about being on the hook for appointments without clear documentation or knowledge from your husband’s COBRA cover
what is that about the Medicaid family planning plan that doesn’t work for you? I mean, I know you don’t need the birth control and etc., but does it offer anything other than family planning?
"The NM Family Planning Medicaid program covers a range of services related to contraception, pregnancy prevention, and related healthcare. This includes prescription and over-the-counter birth control, emergency contraception, annual exams like Pap smears, and STD screenings and treatment. Additionally, it covers services like HPV vaccines, elective sterilizations (when performed in a contraceptive management context), and pregnancy tests."
Ummm, yeah...nope, nothing I could possibly need.
I see, it is just what it says: exclusively family planning services. It must be on a different qualifying time track to allow people to jump on it immediately (?)Originally Posted by SiouzQ.

Got home about 8 (after massage) and a car without handicapped placard or plates was in the handicapped spot by my door that I park in. Took photos of plate and windshield showing no handing placard or one on dash. Called the cops and they came out and wrote a $250 ticket to this person.
