- Group Concerns/Good of the Group: a.)Iles reminded us that the contractor’s list can include negatives as well as positives about the service people we use. A couple of members reported problems at times so it might be good to check with the group before using anyone or checking with Walt to see if he has any information on these service providers. b.) Gladys reported what she perceived to be rather suspicious calls from United health Care regarding sending a home health care nurse to the house. Gladys accepted this offer but was concerned about a so-called followup call in which the caller asked for information that UHC should already have and which Gladys did not provide over the phone..c.) Alice K. reported that she has e-mail addresses for reporting “spam” calls and e-mails: spam@uce.gov or spam@uspis.gov. I checked both of these and they work!d.) Susan D. wanted to thank everyone for the get well cards, e-mails, etc that really helped to brighten her days while she was so very ill.
- Thought of the Day: Sandy P.: absent – but Iles gave us thoughts to ponder.
