This is great news.
I just got a doc ref/renewal for $50 11/11/11 and will now wait 'till after New Years to send it into the health dept. for $35.
My first card lasted 18 months because of the initial 8 month backup. The doc ref was $150 and the health dept $90 for a total of $240.
Now, I'm only paying 35% of that total.
I'm one happy camper...
Glad I stopped by
Woot!



PS - Of course, the health dept fee change date is all unconfirmed...
