From my perspective, if you want people who, once elected, are going to walk in the door with a plan of action, your choices are McFarland and Yocum.

I would give it to Erica, as her stressing funding and supporting our schools at all levels, from school nurses to teachers, is supporting student success (paraphrased from my notes) -- took it away.

I'll give Yocum points over wanting to bring back affordable new teacher/staff housing.

If you want someone who'd be nice about the whole thing, it's either McFarland or Cougnet. They both come across as caring, concerned parents who would try their best.

I'm looking for ideal toys that not only make the kids happy, but also get them up and moving. Which toys do you think are most beneficial for teaching kids to be physically active?

Hello all,

I just moved back to Maryland and will be on Medicaid here. I wanted to ask which MCOs you guys think are best, as there seems to be little information about how they compare to each other in terms of lab test coverage and doctor networks .

In particular, I will be trying to do a variety of less common/frequently ordered lab tests, such as special tests for vitamin and mineral deficiencies. I know that getting coverage for these may be difficult, but I would like to choose a MCO that covers (or will make an exception to give me 1 time coverage for) as many less common lab tests as possible. I don't know if such coverage is actually different between the MCOs at all, but I just figured I'd ask.

In addition, I was wondering which MCO you guys think has the biggest and best networks of doctors. I strongly prefer to see younger doctors as I've found them to be more helpful for my complex health issues. So though I live in Annapolis, I'm planning to mainly go to Glen Burnie, Pasadena, and/or Montgomery County, as it seems there are lots of younger doctors in those areas. However, I'll also need to see a variety of specialists, so where I go for that will of course depend on where the specialists' offices are.

So far, I'm strongly considering either Wellpoint (formerly known as Amerigroup Community Care) or CareFirst Blue Cross Blue Shield Maryland Community Health Plan (formerly known as University of Maryland Health partners), as a doctor I'm considering seeing only accepts those two. However, I'm also considering Priority Partners, Maryland Physicians Care, United, and Aetna. Any reports on any of these would be great.

Anyway, so I know this a bit long, but to summarize, I would love if people can share what MCOs they think are best, either in general or for my goals. In particular, I'd love to know if anyone knows how Wellpoint (/Amerigroup) and/or Carefirst BCBS CHP (/UMD) are. Thanks so much.

Just wondering if anyone saw a long string of lights flying from the southwest to the northeast at a high altitude directly over the Green Haven part of the Dena? Happened tonight, Thursday, 4 May at about 9:28 pm. I would estimate that there was about 20 to 30 lights lined up in a straight line and moving rapidly. No audible sound and like a dumb ass I was more slack jawed and didn’t capture it on video or pics. It didn’t look like MIRVs but not space junk on reentry either. Guess I’m crazy but my son saw it too.

It’s been 71 days since the last post.

Anyone here a fan of edm?

Time Out Bar and Grill in Green Haven is officially closed and the rumor is it will become a church. That building is going to need a lot of holy water!

My name is Jacob I’m a hs student making a documentary about Midgetville in Pasadena and was wondering if anyone had any information/stories on the topic true or fake. Thank you!
