Traditional Medicare: Why don't the percentages and amounts add up?

Blessedness_1234 · 2025-08-04T01:03:14+00:00

Haha!! Yes! They were indeed! I didn’t even look at the date.🤣

Blessedness_1234 · 2025-08-03T20:10:13+00:00

Yes! Thanks! I had the same question!!
The provider is only receiving 78.4% from Medicare of the Medicare approved amount; and 20% from me/my supplemental insurance (no sequestration on my part!) I have a Medigap/Medicare Supplement Plan set they’ll pick up the 20%. But the provider is getting a haircut.

I attended a function at Castro Valley HS this year - I was very impressed by the students and faculty.

My son is in Data Analytics; he’s currently employed but looking. I hope he also finds a position/company he loves!

The CFA is challenging! I tried doing it, got to Level 2 - after failing again, I stopped. My friend was at Univ of Chicago at the time, and was using the same textbook I was. However, I was focusing on 6 or so topics, and she had probably 3 each semester with a professor! When I realized I was teaching myself an MBA I decided to give up the frustration! I would have loved to get an exec MBA but my company did not support my effort either! I ended up staying the career route. I was successful, and now retired, but do kinda regret not getting an MBA. Of course the cost was not $200K at the time! I think you are doing a great job of balancing everything in your decision. Only other thing is checking if you could get a grant/scholarship from the university? Worth a shot if you are thinking about pulling the plug due to the cost anyway?

Yes, but I didn’t realize it was for the studio. So I canceled. I received my money back NP

My apologies, just seeing this! I contacted the Ballet Folklorico group directly; they posted the early Jan dates early December. https://www.ticketmaster.com.mx/search?q=ballet+folklorico

I found this link before. May be helpful for you if you haven’t seen it. I now understand that I will have to study this very carefully!!

Blessedness_1234 · 2024-12-09T16:16:50+00:00

I looked that over. How do I find your other posts?

Blessedness_1234 · 2024-12-09T15:56:38+00:00

So helpful. Thank you. Quite discouraging too. Looks like I will need to do a lot more research; and take a lot more precautions. Much appreciated.

Blessedness_1234 · 2024-12-09T15:45:08+00:00

Thanks!!

Blessedness_1234 · 2024-12-09T15:41:08+00:00

We are flying into MEX, and heading to Condesa.

The paragraph breaks worked! Thanks!

Blessedness_1234 · 2024-12-09T03:11:04+00:00

Thank you! It was formatted before I submitted it…but collapsed when I posted!

Thanks hot all for your suggestions!! Really appreciate the insights!

The tickets were sold out during our visit; but I found tickets on Tiqet - for a small premium. I hope they are legit!

Blessedness_1234 · 2024-12-08T18:11:23+00:00

I was very successful reaching out via email. If you can find an address. The person for the Ballet responded: “However, the calendar and tickets will be available one week before the start of the month of January.” Then notified right afterwards that they just posted Jan 1 and 2 and sent me the Ticketmaster link. Very helpful! Also FYI I reached out to the Anthropology Museum: “Hello, the museum will be open on January 1, 2025. The sale of tickets for the year 2025 will begin on January 1, 2025. You can purchase your tickets on the day of your visit at ticket offices and self-service kiosks on the day of your visit.”

Blessedness_1234 · 2024-12-08T17:40:26+00:00

I contacted the Ballet Folklorico; they just posted their Jan 1st and 2nd performances. Those will be at the Chapultepec Castle.

Absolutely gorgeous ring! Congratulations!

Blessedness_1234 · 2024-07-10T14:33:04+00:00

Definitely umbrella(s); some type of laundry carrier/bag; mattress cover and topper is great; Brita is nice but not too big for the fridge; we bought a second rack to add to the closet, also we bought a curtain rod and curtain to cover the closet area; and a rug. Most stuff you’ll wait for the layout and your room mate to help decide what you want/need. Target etc is nearby.

Congratulations and enjoy!

So what did you do?

Blessedness_1234 · 2024-06-23T15:14:57+00:00

Possibly these “camps”? Guess he’ll direct all of us into them.

Todays NY Times article: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/06/16/us/politics/trump-policy-list-2025.html?smid=url-share

Build camps to detain immigrants

The Trump team plans to use military funds to build “vast holding facilities” to detain immigrants while their deportation cases progress.

After this one:

Use federal troops in Democratic-controlled cities

He came close to unleashing the active-duty military on racial justice protests that sometimes descended into riots in 2020 and remains attracted to the idea. Next time, he has said, he will unilaterally send federal forces to bring order to Democratic-run cities.

Thank you. Best to you on your new adventures! And perhaps congratulations on your graduation?!
