If you want to understand why healthcare pricing is horrific, the first thing to know is that our system puts 100% of the credit risk for deductibles, copays and co-insurance on hospitals and doctors. That's insane.

Biden’s $2000 cap on drug costs for Medicare recipients goes into effect in 2025.
Have you heard the good news?
Since April 2023, people with Medicare have seen savings on over 100 drugs thanks to Biden's Inflation Reduction Act’s Medicare Prescription Drug Inflation Rebate Program & in 2025 there'll be a 2k maximum for the year on drugs!

Random thoughts
In the 1700s, lobsters were so abundant along the Massachusetts coast that they would wash ashore in piles up to two feet high.
These crustaceans were considered the “poor man’s chicken” and were primarily used as fertilizer or fed to prisoners, slaves, and indentured servants.

Have a tech check to see if your heat sink is all clogged up with dust so that your CPU fan can't eject the CPU's heat. Have the tech replace the thermal paste between the heat sink and the CPU. Check the CPU fan & have a look at the power supply's fan and any others for enough air movement.
