It's been years since I've taken the Staten Island Ferry and catch this view. But I was reminded of it today, as I was able to wake up late for a change, and go to a doctor's appointment instead of going to work first thing in the morning.

Now that I'm about to go on Medicare, this will be one of the last appointments covered by my Obamacare policy. And I'm not so sure of how I feel about that. Medicare is not as efficient as care given to the under 65 set. For example, where I would get yearly physicals from my doctor, he is only allowed to give me "wellness checks" In short, he has to schedule each needed test on different days, as he is only allowed to test for one ailment at a time. Although I will have some redundant coverage from work, it isn't that great - my doctor is not on my company's plan. (That's why I kept my Obamacare policy.)
Once I am done with the doctor, I will be going to work. That means I will be changing from Mario Mode to Marian Mode in mid morning. Of course, I will be staying in this mode all day....
Now, if only I had a GP that I could feel comfortable going to as Marian....
