Wife not old enough for Medicare.
First: Insurance is suffering from "shrinkage" just as much as potato chips. Not near as much in the bag.
Second: The way I see it, I can purchase an almost decent policy for my wife (worse coverage than in the past) OR.... I could make payments on a brand new, high-end Bentley (including insurance) for the same money.
I don't need a Bentley. Yet?
Being healthy, no insurance, is the best answer. Yet?
This is ridiculous. So much for retirement. Social Security doesn't even cover the cost of healthcare. Gees.
We don't have health care. It is way too expensive. We take vitamins, eat healthy, exercise and when something comes up, we pay cash. Same for our teeth! I am hoping for something in the future that makes sense. Also, I really don't trust doctors and even the vet for my dogs.
I haven’t had insurance since Obamacare, premiums tripled for me with bigger deductible. I don’t want what they’re peddling anyway, their model only works when they make you sicker than you are already. We quit eating ‘their’ food quite some time ago, and savvy on alternatives. Be judgement proof if you’re going to go for a catestrophic, my advice… don’t let it get that far.
