How is it that a family can get private health insurance in Australia for at most $2,700 US per year, yet it is so expensive here? Something doesn't add up.
My COBRA insurance from my last job will soon expire. I have not been able to get a job since, and I can't figure out why. I suspect it is due to age. I've even applied to HomeDepot and followed up with no response.
The only way my wife and I can get affordable insurance is for one of us to have a regular job. This has not worked out. The catastrophic insurance available from the state (IL) will cost us $1100 per month and $5,000 deductible- which is unaffordable.
I fear we will soon enter the ranks of the uninsured until I reach 65 in seven years.
Pray for good health and don't get old !!
