I'm a lot of things: a business professional, a parent, a wife, and an athlete (okay- more of a weekend warrior these days). Most importantly, where this blog is concerned - I'm a member of the "sandwich generation."

I'm responsible for managing the healthcare, well being, medical insurance and medicare, for my aging parents as well as my children, with my own health somewhere in the middle - hence the "sandwich."

I love the doctors we patronize, but I don't love the health insurers we have been forced to use over the years. We've had a variety of different PPO, EPO, and HMO plans, as well as Medicare - and I've learned a lot about how to advocate for the care my family needs. I've invested a lot of blood, sweat and tears in getting insurers to cough up money for services rendered.

If my $.02 about preventative health and proactive insurance management is useful to you, then this blog is worthwhile.
