[I'd be interested in hearing feedback from people outside the US about whether this is useful for private insurance cases outside the US. A lot of US advice can be useful, but some can be very specific to the US system. Tom]

i have never found webinars possible to attend. it is not within my health capacity.

signing up, being organized, not having emergencies, being awake, not being too sick, dealing with technical issues, and many more things make it completely impossible.

so webinars don't do it for me. if it were possible to ask questions by email, in a dialogue format so that it were possible to correct misunderstood questions, that could be useful in principle. things take time when sick. allow days or weeks to compose.

until something like that occurs, webinars are like watching some alien planet.

i'm geniuinely glad their target audience is being helped by them. i know i will never be helped by them.

and i know that i am alien to that planet too. except, i am probably never thought of. i know they exist, but they don't know i exist.

webinars fly by, healthy folk fly by, everybody gets married, they experience youth and beauty, growth, happy memories, maybe a few hours without stress from carer yelling at them for asking for food or medicine.

i lie here getting sicker, and older, and years and a century marker fly by, and i know that another webinar will fly by, and i know that nothing will be "solved" in my lifetime without a miracle.
and we have to create that miracle.

but the solution at present will be a webinar. on an alien planet.
