Annual growth in total Medicare spending averaged 4.1% between 2010 and 2014, compared to 9.0% between 2000 and 2010, based on data from OACT, despite growth in the number of beneficiaries and increases in health care costs over these years (Figure 3) .
bowfin - primitive long-bodied carnivorous freshwater fish with a very long dorsal fin; found in sluggish waters of North America. Amia calva, dogfish, grindle. ganoid, ganoid fish - primitive fishes having thick bony scales with a shiny covering. Amia, genus Amia - type genus of the Amiidae.
For the second straight spring in a row, from the same body of water, and by the same tactical fishing means, I hooked into more bowfin. I happily hooked into them, fought off their powerful forces with my bass flipping stick, posed for a few photos with a rare fish I seldom catch, and I happily released them.
