    Managing Health & Insurance: Precaution or Postponement?

    I’m quoting, above, @Richard Smith from another thread. I thought his laconic comment warranted a thread of its own. There must, after all, be quite a few fellow travellers out there. …because metaphorically my bits are definitely beginning to fall off. It is not a coincidence that I wrote my...
