But you can’t get Obamacare once you’re 65. A lot of seniors will be passed because Medicare is going to cost them a lot more than Obamacare did!
He should be able to get Medicare if he’s on SSDI. Or is there a year waiting period?
Hope he gets better!
ps. you have to enroll within 30 days of losing a job.
passed should have been pissed
Not sure what the deal is - the wife keeps track of the specifics and I tell her it's OK to spend some cash if he needs something he can't afford. Since Medicare only covers "80%" and cancer treatment is expensive, it may be that he has an "Obama Care supplement".
We are hopeful but the prognosis isn't that great right now - thanks for the well-wishes.
The last thing he needs to worry about right now is finances.
But...Make sure he updates his income (if it’s lower) and checks plans for 2016 if he’s on Obamacare- our premium went up by almost 50% so we’re switching plans! If we don’t, they’ll just roll us over on to the same now mire expensive plan.
If we see American women en-mass at prayer gatherings seeking forgiveness for having abortions, or reversal of gay marriage laws, and etc. I may began to feel otherwise.
As for our healthcare system and our economy, I don't see how either can last much longer myself. It may be some consolation to those stuck with Obamacare to know we will all be in the same boat very soon.
