My wife and I are kind of in a special situation for about two years. I will be retired and under medicare buying a supplement policy of some sort. She will be retired with me but too young for medicare. We will be comfortably retired but having income at about 23% of what we had with us both working at real fine jobs. We will get nailed and sucked dry by this deal for that two year period.
We will be forced to risk our savings by buying the minimal plan and then loosing a third of our lifetime savings if a major medical event occurs to her and have to live the next 15 to 30 years with much less income and emergency money.
I honestly think she will just say she prefers to die if ill.
If she can be classified as disabled, she can get medicare along with the disability payment from SS.
You can get some short-term insurance for about a year.
I’m in a similar situation, with an added twist. I have medicare, with my former employer being supplementary, however my wife and minor children have my former employer as primary provider, for which I already pay $4,800 per year.
I’ve heard nothing from my former employer about obamacare, except every year, about this time, they tell me that “due to the affordable care act”, my premium is increasing.
My wife is 60, we have two children ages 13 and 14 (adopted).
That is exactly what Obozo and his minions want. They want to redistribute all wealth and confiscate all private property.
He will have a hot war before that happens. He does not yet realize it, but it will come. Why do you think they want to disarm us? They know at some point the public will wake up to his treachery.
FUBO!
