The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

One more angle to think about has to do with Part D deducible.

I take one med that is on that list of ten. It is so expensive, I hit the deductible upon the first fill. After that my cost is $42 per month. So if Biden cuts the price way down, it may take two or even three fills to hit the deductible, the savings to me will be $42 or $84 per year for those months where I am topping off the deductible and not paying the $42. Biden's effort may save my Part D insurance provider a bunch of money, but me, not so much.
