   Wonderful Experience

   I was noticing abnormal behaviour from my dog that persisted for several days. I decided I needed to speak to a Veterinary professional right away and came across Vetster's platform. The booking process was quick and easy and the Vet was super helpful. Avoiding a drive to the Vet and waiting in a crowded waiting room was extremely convenient, especially during Covid. I highly recommend Vetster to any pet parents.

• Pay down 2.75% mortgage or not

  Ok so there is a lot of math you need to do here if you really want to compare things, on top of if you are comfortable having a mortgage when in retirement. The first thing I'd recommend is going to healthcare.gov, or even healthsherpa.com to price out some plans to get an idea of where things are. Keep in mind next year FPL is increasing due to inflation. Source: 12 months ago

• Health insurance with expensive medical needs in USA

  You might try looking up plans on healthsherpa.com. The plans listed there are ACA plans and I think their interface is a little easier to browse than healthcare.gov was last time I looked. Source: over 1 year ago

• When you 'FIRE', what do you do about health/vision/medical/etc insurance?

  ACA for health insurance - the price varies a lot based on your age, location, and whether you qualify for subsidies. healthcare.gov is the official signup but other sites like healthsherpa.com can give you an idea of the rate. Source: about 2 years ago

• Where do I go for health coverage???

  ACA plans - Affordable Care Act, also deemed Obamacare or the public marketplace. Serve a great purpose. Those earning less these will receive a credit from the federal goverment towards their healthcare called a "premium tax credit." For example, Jane really needs health coverage, but the premiums are just not affordable, since she earnes about $35,000/year. Again,, her rates are determined by gender, age, and...

• New job wants 20% of take home for insurance. Is this normal?

  Something else you might consider is to ask your employer if they could just give you a stipend each month for insurance and go buy it on healthsherpa.com or healthcare.gov yourself. Source: over 2 years ago

• Obtaining flea preventive without a vet

  Have you looked into something like Vetster? Use a flea collar when you get the pup, do the Vetster appointment to get the script for the flea and tick med, order the med, have it delivered. Not sure what your postal service conditions will be, but if they have general delivery, you could pick it up there, if that would be faster than your actual address. Source: about 2 years ago

• I need urgent advisory please

  If for whatever reason you absolutely 100% cannot take the cat to see a veterinarian in person - which is 100% the only thing likely to help you find the actual answer - you might get lucky and find that a telemedicine consult with a very skilled veterinarian can at least help you narrow this down to the likeliest causes and maybe get you motivated to pack up and get into a veterinarian’s office. For example,... Source: over 2 years ago

• Portland needs more 24 hr vet hospitals

  OP in case you’re curious, we used this service https://vetster.com/. Source: almost 3 years ago

• What’s going on with my cat? She’s otherwise really healthy but this was a first.

  I second the advice where people are saying contact a vet. There's things online like https://vetster.com that offer 24/7 assistance and it might be a good economical way to get preliminary advice before spending money at a vet. Source: almost 3 years ago

• URGENT Eye Issues...

  I see! That channel also has some other leopard gecko rehabilitation videos, hopefully they help! :D if you just need a vet consultation, you can maybe chat with one on something like vetster.com or chewy.com (connect with a vet). They can't examine the gecko in person, but at least they'll have knowledgeable answers and better than nothing :( I did a quick search and found this link:... Source: almost 3 years ago
