"I wonder what those non-Medicare docs who don't accept under 65's will do when they retire." first of all questions need a question mark at the end of the question. See. That's why we have all these communication problems. It's hard to write clearly when one can't differentiate between a question and a statement. I noticed that you had put question marks after your declarative statements. I figured you were just trying to be cute... These are declarative: Those non-Medicare docs don't accept under 65"s? [sic] [I]Wonder what they'll do when they retire??? [sic] Declarative sentences end with periods. Even if they are indirect questions such as "I wonder what..." What will those...do when they retire? Now, that's a question. Interrogatives end with a question mark. Asking what they will do when they retire doesn't necessarily mean you asking about what insurance they would choose... Yes, I accidentally cut that out during editing. Sorry about that. It should have read: I wonder what those non-Medicare docs who don't accept under 65's will do for health insurance when they retire. Sans question mark. <g>
