To be clear it goes into bathroom trash lined with a bag and for some with a lid on it. NOT kitchen garbage.   At one point as a kid one of  my jobs in the morning was to empty the slop jar.  Sometimes called a goazunder in Austrailia I was told. (as in goes under the bed- until needed)  If you don't know what I mean ask someone old that lived in the deep country with no running water or indoor plumbing.   Another of my jobs was to provide running water as in running out with a bucket and running back in.

We ran water and filled the bucket from the outdoor pump at our hunting camp but we had a outhouse. We cut wood for the  stove.

Put it in the trash…. I just threw up in my mouth.

We use primarily FJ when on the road .They are most everywhere  easy on easy off plenty of parking and not a bad restaurant. Just filled  up diesel  locally 2.795 and 8 cents off with the RV plus card was 195.9. We have seen it over 5.00 per gallon a few years ago.

When our local Dr of many years says  it s OK to get it we will.

All of the lower 48 plus Alaska and a couple of Canadian provinces. It took us many years to accomplish that.

We belong to a sportsman club with a very nice range in Florida and  a family member has several acres in the countryside  here where we can shoot. Since we no longer hunt most of our long guns passed to our sons.  We have been a sport shooter for many years and worked the national matches at Camp Perry in years past.

We hold a CCP from Ohio because we can.

It does not bother me at all.

The answer to your question is in the press release I provided as a hot link.

yes I saw that. It is a big number but with the number of folks that get free admission  and the number of parks it does not seem all that big.

Will they  be receiving any  additional funds from the Governmnet to off set the loss of  income as a veteran I would rather pay to support them.

Handgun laws.us is a good start. We are good in 39 of the lower 48 + Alaska with our Ohio CCP

We have been RVers for many ,many years this 3402 is our 6th Rv and 2nd 5th wheel. The first 4 were bumper pulls and we did weekends and maybe a one week vacation. When we both  retired our goal was to see the USA and winter in a warm place. We have been doing that since 2006.

This is the first forum we joined one year before we purchased our first 5th wheel(but our 6th RV) We were leaning toward full timing and this was the place to learn. We did learn, we did not full time. We belong to the Montana Owners club and this forum. We did so because we chose to.

We have never had a warranty problem.

We can handle a 10.00 $$$ increase.

Quartzsite is a long haul for us being from Northern ,Ohio. We have however been to Quartzsite twice as we happened to be traveling in the area. We  prefer to get our meds and medical , dental work done in the USA. We are not fans of boondocking such as it is in "Q" or camping in the dessert .It is however a experience and should  be on the RVers bucket list

We have all of the mentioned drug stores near our home and they all do the flu shot. We got ours at wall greens  since they are the nearest.

I'm sorry, but that just looks like your everyday click bait to me. It's just a survey, so I don't see any kind of rational analysis involved. Are the respondents just saying they like their preferred country's health care because it's free? Or, what parameters are they basing their preferences on? I'm not sure and I can't tell. I'm certainly not clicking through to find out. Hmm.. Jay

 Ignore it and do whatever you choose to do.

The U.S. spends more on health care as a share of the economy — nearly twice as much as the average OECD country — yet has the lowest life expectancy and highest suicide rates among the 11 nations. The U.S. has the highest chronic disease burden and an obesity rate that is two times higher than the OECD average.Jan 30, 2020.

We have no problem with Medicare it has served us well with no problems what so ever...….. Yet. Between our Federal BC/BS and Medicare  it is rare that we  pay any out of pocket.

Our Medicare  premium  is 2942  for the both of us. The BC/BS which was a Federal Government  plan since we both were Federal employees  was 6080 total .  That =  9022 .Medicare did pick up 80 % of the bill.The  out of pocket was for additional cost we choose to incur like private room , TV, Phone and special diet.

This is a edit   We had to go back and check numbers. We made a mistake on our Medicare premium. 

We usually do not have to  pay anything between our  BC/BS and Medicare  BTW our BC/BS plan is 253.00 per month per person for those who may have been federal employees that is code 104 self only was less than self and family. The additional cost was personal choice

We were very fortunate to be able to carry over a very good BC/BS plan provided by our employer .Helen and I worked for the same employer, It still cost us  with Medicare over 9K a year for coverage but many pay much more than that. Few years ago Helen had  non life threating surgery that from start to finish had a bill of over 65 K.I think it cost us around 3K out of pocket. We would have been done in had we had to pay that entire bill.

I know it's not a simple cold but I beleave the numbers are being skewed to cause more panic than is warrantied.

For what purpose and who is doing that.

Summers are not all  that bad here in Northern Ohio. We did not travel anywhere this summer and we usually leave for our Residence in Florida in Oct but this year we are staying in Northern Ohio for the winter for the first time since 2005.

Anyone notice that Glenn is no longer responding....

We carry a couple of surgical masks in the car and truck and one is in my pocket at all times. We are not a medical  person so we will pay attention to reliable  medical community and not Facebook experts or politicians. The mask is very uncomfortable and I have trouble breathing through it in a short time. I wear it were it is mandated.
