Wasn't talking about Medicare exactly. Medicare advantage is different. The one my mom uses is thru blue cross and blue shield. Medicare Advantage (Part C) | Blue Cross Blue Shield (bcbs.com) My mom has been using it for about six months now. Before she was using a medigap program run by United Health Care and it paid almost everything, but was costing her 400 a month. The Medicare advantage plan doesn't cost anything (the premiums are actually paid by Medicare). Now she does have copayments, some of them for for medicine, but so far, they aren't bad. Hers also covers dental, which medicare normally doesn't cover. I will state though that my Mom has Medicare part b (she pays for it, but gets reimbursed by the employer my stepdad retired from). -

Can revisit when/if Charlotte gets an MLB team. It has been discussed lately and I think Charlotte and Nashville are supposedly high on the list. -

Nfl leaders don't look at the population of just the city itself. Charlotte has three of the top fifty combined statistical areas within a 1 to 1.5 hour drive. Charlotte, Greensboro/WS/High Point, and Greenville Spartanburg. Those three statistical areas include nearly 7 million people. Other than Raleigh, the only one in the top fifty within an hour and half of raleigh is Greensboro. So only about 4-5 million people. Charlotte has many more people to draw from. Also, many of the surrounding communities for Raleigh are not native born. If memory serves, many still refer to Cary as Containment area for relocated Yankees. One of the reasons the Canes do so well is a significant portion of the population are people who moved from Northern Areas. Would that population translate into support for a NFL team? Hard to say, but I see a tremendous amount of Giants/Jets jerseys in the triangle when I forced to endure the crazy traffic on 40/85.
