    My wife started a new job, and the 4 insurance plans they offer are a bit confusing

    @teelea68 My research university affiliated hospital system has a number you can call for a primary care "matchmaker" for lack of a better term. Tell them who my insurance is, what part of townI'm open to appointments in, and any special requests (provider gender, language competency etc). Got...
