Health insurance for youngsters
My husband and I are getting ready for our full timing lifestyle. We are 57 and 52, what are others in this age group finding for affordable health insurance?
Forum Discussion
At the risk of disobeying forum rules, I must say I know many who are driving their high-end vehicles and shopping at nice stores, eating out a lot,etc. who say they can't afford health insurance so go without. THAT is what we object to, and yes, I know we're subsidizing the deadbeats with our higher premiums and higher costs. The jury is out as to how this whole thing will play out.
To the OP, I just called BCBS to see if we can do something about our recent increase and lower the premium with another plan. The answer is no. We could save $50.00 per month, but our ded. would go to $10k per person instead of family and our max out of pocket would go up $10k a year to $20k. So, we'd only save $600.00 a year. Not worth the risk, IMO.
