We are both almost 68. We currently have medicare type A, which we don’t expect to use.
We’ve saved over $100,000 in insurance premiums since Obamacare’s individual mandate went into effect. And nowadays most insurance has such high deductibles that it is pretty much worthless for everything except the most serious stuff.
As Christians, we put our faith in the Great Healer and take responsibility for our own health. We take no prescription drugs. If one of us gets cancer, we do natural remedies. And we may die. The Lord will take us at a time of His choosing.
And don’t tell anyone, but when you don’t have insurance, health care can be a LOT cheaper. Part of it is that it is very expensive for doctors to even deal with insurance companies. When you hand them a credit card like you are paying for an oil change, sometimes their sigh of relief is almost tangible.
You really should look into a Medicare B plan. I pay about $130 a month. I have zero deductible for just about everything including medications. You’re old. You’re going to get sick.
You owe it your family and spouse to be a good steward of your money.
Just sayin.
Ya and that sigh of relief means they’ll hang a charge on your card you’ll pay for years.
10% off? Big deal. How about 50% off..
Thank you for taking the time to write this! I really appreciate it.
