I've marveled that since I got back stateside nearly everything is covered by Medicare except for a $5 or $25 medicine charge on occasion. I've been looking at my finances and getting them straight in my mind, and need to see if my extra medical coverage is actually needed. This always confuses me and I'm not sure how to unconfuse myself. My brother is around but I really hesitate to enlist him. He qualifies for VA (I earn to much), is a MAGA De Santis type. I accidentally talked about Eric Clapton going anti vaxx during the pandemic to find out he didn't get any boosters and informed me that if I was only following twitter or FB, or other mainstream media that I wasn't getting the full story. I asked him if he was fully anti-vax, against all vaccines and he didn't answer and launched into what he wanted to talk about.

So I'll just plug away like I normally do.

Since he's dependent on SS and uses Medicare ( or his wife) I don't think he's against that yet. But it's a little sad that he seems to be off in the misinfo zone.
