My health insurance and my wife's insurance was costing me over 1400 a month under Obamacare. I went on Medicare with a supplement when 65 and my cost dropped to just under 400 a month and my wife's by herself in 972 a month right now. Both of us are retired and she goes on Medicare this year. It will be like getting a 600 a month raise! So the answer is plain to me since there is no other choice we can afford under the tax Obamacare.
I would say take all of your potential premium payments and put them away. The cash deal at almost all providers is a fraction of the insurance cost. Trump made the billing process transparent. Providers have to state the insurance price and the cash price.
Not true. I went in after a car accident to get a very brief exam and a referral for therapy. It cost 200 for 5 minutes. They wouldn't do my insurance because it was a car accident.
Medicare would have cost us 400 to 500 more than my husband's work health care. Our friends, who are wealthy, were paying about 1200 to BCBS. Their Medicare plus private insurance was cheaper. Makes no sense.
You do realize tens of millions of middle and lower-income seniors have no choice except Medicare because of the cost of health care, right?
Or are you suggesting they have no health insurance at all?
Just don't get sick, and if you do, die quickly?

My experience was different. Did you ask for a cash price?
I didn't ask. They knew I would pay. I always do.

Hey,
There's another way. Take the Part A, and then go for Christian coop like Medi-share. There's others.
