Harold, who is closer to Medicare than that, replied:

Can some "old hand" enlighten me (us) as to why a search finds almost nothing
on APG's web site about health insurance? Would it not be high on the agenda of
any group seeking among other things to "provide support for those engaged in
genealogical pursuits as a business"?

Is our group just too small, or too dispersed, or otherwise too ill-defined to
be able to cut any better deal than we do as individuals? Or are most full-time
practitioners either over 65 or married to someone who has family coverage?
