Wow. You do know, don't you, that all of the rules of Medicare are in their because of lobbying by AHIP. It is also the reason that we don't have Bernie's single payor, but instead a 600 page ACA.
AHIP, the Association of Health Insurance Providers, have a lot of clout in D.C., it is called campaign contributions, dark money, and twice as many lobbyists as there are Congress critters. Find me a congress critter that has the backbone to tell AHIP to get eff'ed.
My opinion as to why we don't have single payor (a one sentence change to 42 U.S.C. § 1395 et seq, subchapter XVIII, is Nancy Pelosi and Rahm Emanuel.
Gloria I missed you for a couple days, I too have to deal with pre-diabetes. What I found works the best for me is to exercise twice a day and bring my heart rate up at least a third for one half hour each session. I recommend the teeter free stepper, It is low impact. I will start taking metformin thanks to Thoms advice. Pot can lower your blood sugar a lot. So be careful about hypoglycemia and the munchies. My blood sugar actually went down to 39 in the seventies while experimenting with my mother's blood glucose monitor. Pot brownies! Now it likes to hang around 130 🤬. I hope this helps you a little anyway.
Yes for this rule.
