Health insurance for youngsters

to the OP:

This is a issue you should have resolved long before making the FT decision. If you have no current healthcare plan that you can continue on until Medicare kicks in, you have to be ready to pay big money.

To those waiting for Obamacare to "take care of them", I sure hope that never happens. The money has to come from somewhere, and I frankly don't want to be subsidizing anyone's early retirement desires. If you want to retire early, more power to you, but pay your own way.

So true. If I have to subsidize someone else's healthcare and early retirement, that delays my own. Even one of the main proponents and architects of the Affordable Healthcare Act, Montana Senator Max Baucus democrat and head of the Senate Finance Committee, called it's current implimentation a "Train Wreck". Like others, my premiums for my high deductible plan has skyrocketed. Nothing "Affordable" has happened to health insurance that I can see. Planning on Obamacare as your salvation from high insurance costs is hanging your future on a very tenuous thread.
