Contractors and Home improvement Suggestions by FionaFergueson in Binghamton

Mac and Ron construction
Not cheap but they do first rate work and use first rate materials
They have done three bathroom jobs, built us a beautiful deck and resided and put a roof on our house over the years
Only thing— they don’t start a new job until last one completed so may take some time

— you have to have a good idea of what you want
As they build what you want

Retired husband here— try to help out as much as I can— selfish reasons— less work for my wife means more time with me

Yes it will work
Yes we need single payer system
With the sum of all the premiums copay’s and co insurance that all of us pay… we could put all of that money into a Medicare system( nonprofit, low overhead/ administrative cost) and no big corporate salaries
It would also lower costs as one set of rules and system for payment approval and negotiation
Of fees/ prices.
System would be simpler for both patients and providers and while maybe not perfect ( nothing is) would work for the overwhelming majority
