I went through the whole thyroid cancer diagnosis + treatment + follow up experience with good old marketplace insurance, and it sucked, but it could have been way worse and they did pay for a lot of stuff. They never let me hit my deductible, which is bullshit (I was forever $7 short, somehow) and that’s a different gripe altogether, but they did pay a lot without hitting the deductible.

I can tell you from experience, when I had BCBS Omnia Bronze through the marketplace they did cover blood tests without anything out of my pocket. They also paid toward doctors visits, including specialists, and I also did not pay for ultrasounds. My deductible was high, so I didn’t meet it, but I never paid for basic testing.

Yeah, that’s because the snowbirds we’re sending you are just 90% old people. Of course they’re gonna suck at driving, they’re someone’s 86 year old Italian grandfather driving an ancient Cadillac.

Hocus pocus drive with focus will live in my soul forever.

I saw a “gobble gobble, let off the throttle” sign on 195 last weekend. I was disappointed, because gobble and throttle don’t rhyme, but I appreciate what they’re going for.

Both shops in Spring Lake are great! I used to work there and always got great items from them. They’re always incredibly friendly, especially 3rd Ave.

I live 4 miles from my job. Got stuck in 50 mins of traffic on my way home last night. Yayyy. 🤯

Exactly, once I saw it was Talulas I knew it was gonna be actually well done and probably delicious

Also trumpers in the wild posts were popular for a hot second there.

I don’t think it’s necessary, but it’s also true that Jackson or Cream Ridge nothing like towns like Pt Pleasant, Belmar, or Lavalette.
