Since I'm a contractor I wait until the end of the year to report my income for reduced healthcare premiums. This is typically not an issue, except this year I earned more than twice the amount. When I reported my increased yearly income I was told I may have to repay a significant amount on my 2022 taxes. This of course triggered panic on my part, lol.
When I logged on today onto the Covered California website, it was determined for 2022 I still qualified for health coverage under the same reduced healthcare premium based on my 2021 tax return. So, it's a good possibility any repayment of premiums will be none or low.
For 2023, it's going to be a different story, I will have to pay a larger out-of-pocket percentage for healthcare since I earned more, which is fine. Now I'm just waiting for MediCal's letter of disqualification for 2023 so I can choose another healthcare package (more expensive, but again, it's fine).

My elliptical broke a few weeks ago. Fortunately, for me I purchased a protection plan that would either repair or refund the purchase price of the elliptical if it were to break during the plan's two year term. Since it was within the two year period I got the full purchase price reimbursed.
With that money I decided to buy a new elliptical stepper/climber. That was a mistake. Within a day I developed severe knee pain. My guess is the incline was waaay too steep for someone who has the occasional knee issue. Any and all knee sleeves/braces/support failed to protect/relieve me of my knee pain whether I would use the machine.
After a week of use I called Amazon to see what options were available to me since the machine was already assembled and the packaging was thrown out. Surprisingly, Amazon has Heavy Bulk Services that will pick up the elliptical stepper machine as is. I was so relieved.
It's been a few days since I've stopped using the elliptical stepper. I'm still gimpy, but my sore knees are feeling better. Today, I was able to walk without the knee supports, so that's always a great sign!

My neuro and primary care doctor have left the medical group, that's fine, but it would've been nice if, I don't know, someone would have alerted the patients. It would explain why my many refill requests went unanswered. One of my medications expired and I won't be able to see a new doctor to get it refilled until...June 2023.
LOL
At first I was angry, but then I said FUCK IT. Why? Because I have medication back ups and since I'll have a new healthcare plan come next year, I'll have to chose different doctors/medical groups anyways.
I've already started the withdraw process for all my medications, even before all this happened. I guess this just accelerates my plan.
