We were paying $1k a month before Obamacare. It has been going up ever since. In the last couple of days we have gotten notice that hubby’s premiums and mine are both going up an extra $4k a year. We are up to $1400 per mnth now for 2 realatively healthy seniors.
Trying to figure the annual costs that I know we have, our total payments will be $11 - $15 thousand for 2 otherwise healthy 50-somethings.
That’s a hike of $6-10 thousand over the last few years. I’m wracking my brain trying to find a way to earn cash off the books to supplement our income. I’m too old for hooking.
Have to choose by Friday, and I still can’t get straight answers. The other choice is to give up my medication and die. At least I have life insurance. Hmm, that is an actual choice.
