An interview my wife and I gave to our local paper

[Guest guest]

Somehow our local paper found we were moving to Italy for health care

reasons. I reviewed books for the paper for the last 20 years and they

asked if a columnist could do a story. Here is a link to it:

Some pointed insurance questions and answers were spiked by her

editor, but I think she did a great job in voicing our issues.

Great interview, Larry. I am fortunate that I had my BC-BS insurance

from the Alabama Teacher Retirement System when I had to go on

disability. Now with Medicare, I still need the BC-BS insurance to

help pay for treatments and medicines that Medicare does not completely

cover. I wish you well on your venture, and keep in touch with the

group.

Thanks for the responses.

I will keep in touch after I land in Rome. The support and humor found

on these pages is too important. Besides, Gretchen keeps printing my

blow hard quips and others keep answering.

One of the benefits of moving to Rome is that I will be under the care

of Dr. Paolo Vinci. I have been conversing with Dr. Vinci for the last

year and he feels that all I need to do to feel a lot better is lose

60 pounds!

I've been trying that since my late 30's with little success.

The article quoted me as saying that CMT was " not life threatening

but life disgusting. " What I said that CMT was life defining. I said

that retirement was disgusting and I wished I could still work. I

guess the two quotes were interchanged.
