We dropped ours at $13,000/year premiums, two years ago. Just a one truck chuck leased on. Not the worst or best coverage.
We pay doctors/medical cash - at 50 and 55 years old respectively, my most favorable option is to find a company with decent and affordable health insurance options. Or find ways to generate $200k/year consistently.
Or die or go bankrupt, I don't know. -
My mom said she got quoted $2,000 a month for comparable coverage for him since he’s type 2 diabetic. she’s 69 and has Medicare already, but they cant afford that and so he’ll just have to hang in there for a few years until he’s 65 and can get Medicare. I think they actually send the packet when you’re 64 1/2…I would imagine an exciting day realizing you *probably* won’t go bankrupt now if you get sick or injured and will soon have affordable coverage. Clever way for the capitalists to keep the wage slaves showing up to work till they’re 65 I suppose. It’s the only way you’re getting affordable health coverage if you aren’t yet 65 and aren’t in such a rough position that you’d qualify for Medicaid.

It's tough to come up with it every month but to me there is no option. A friend had no insurance when his wife got cancer. He had to liquidate 1.5 million in assets to pay the bills.tscottme, blairandgretchen and Chinatown Thank this.

EVERY govt program is designed to fail so the govt can fix the problem again and again and politicians can claim they fixed it over and over.
A problem solved is a campaign issue taken away.ShowMeStateNewbie Thanks this. -
There is good and bad of the ACA. Before that if you had any preexisting conditions most people were uninsurable.
