Subscribing to this thread. Blue Cross Blue Shield is exactly what I've been researching. 🙏

OP here — wow, did not expect this much response! Thank you all for the thoughtful replies on Blue Cross Blue Shield .
To answer DebRD_ATL: I started tracking everything in a spreadsheet from day 1.
Quick update: I will post a proper update thread soon. Thanks again for the evidence-based discussion — this is exactly why I posted in a science-based community. 🙏

+1 to emily_PDX. Especially the point about "Thank you all for the thoughtful replies..." — I have seen the same in my own experience with Blue Cross Blue Shield .

Slightly tangential to Blue Cross Blue Shield but tampaLisa73 reminded me — has anyone else noticed changes in their alcohol tolerance?
I know it is not exactly on-topic but it seems related enough to ask here rather than starting a new thread. Apologies if this has been covered — I did search first.
