Reply to comment by JRZane in Why are NJ doctors, especially those in family medicine all joining for-profit, multi-specialty medical groups? Those groups do are deteriorating the good doctor and patient communication/relationship that use to exist. by Eastcoastpal

Blue cross is such trash. They dropped our coverage numerous times over 3 years because we had automatic pay set up. And paid on time. Then at a dentist or dr appt being told “you have no coverage and have to pay in full.” Or a medical emergency with my 4yr old where she had to be hospitalized for 3 days. Hospital actively trying to kick us out cause we had no insurance and my husband fighting for 3 days with BCBS to reinstate our benefits. And the hospital staff shaking there heads saying “yeah this happens all the time..”

It boils my blood I’m not an isolated incident. That so many like me are paying astronomical amounts for health insurance, only to have all benefits stripped away the second we go to use them. Punished for paying in time or early. Make it make sense

Exaaaaaactly. It’s like a recruitment tool when you walk in at that. I told my kids how bizarre it is and messed up. I wouldn’t want to go to England for example and drown in patriotic tunes as I enter a shop. The fact shoprite has the patriotic entrance, with the cops, while the owners are absolutely affiliated with the far right. Doesn’t make ya feel to good shopping there. But sadly it’s the only local store to me with good produce so I’ve little option.

Exactly! I laughed so hard when she tried to “sell” there trick or treating, as if it’s some wonderful perk your allowed only 2 hours to enjoy trick or treating. Give me a break!!! I heard hours are between 2-8 pm in most towns, some from 2-9. Allow people to go when the hell they want, not some time slot.

My sister lives on base on McGuire and they have a 2 hour window to trick or treat from 5-7. When she told me that, bragging like it was some wonderful rule. I said “yeah us free American civilians can go out starting at 3pm if we so feel like it and we can end at 8…you can keep your two hours I’m going to let my kids be kids and go out as long as there little hearts and feet desire. My kids say there feet hurt and we stop and that could be 4 hours into our adventure, like yesterday.

A curfew or weird block of time to go is ridiculous in my opinion.

Also I agree with other commenters. There is zero need for multiple trunk or treats on every weekend leading up to Halloween. Especially here in Tom’s river. Walking is accessible all over this town and it’s just laziness to have so many trunk or treats.

Live in Tom’s river and the town goes HARD the night before Halloween. Because of the parade this town has trick or treating the day before. Always. Only from Sandy and Covid did that change. My kids love it. The only thing I find odd is with the schools, costume day was Friday and they don’t have you dress up the same day as Halloween. Which makes zero sense to me and even my kids don’t get that one.
