Due to circumstance, I find myself without medical insurance. (I have dental and optical)
I am 61, in excellent health, rarely sick. I can afford Dr. visits and 1/2 cost of prescriptions and need emergency room coverage and catastrophic insrance.
Bids I have are from $600 - 750 PER MONTH!! I can't afford that.
I am considering not even having any coverage at all and taking the risk of not having emergency hospital needs.
Thoughts?
Is there something in your area on the order of an HMO scheme that an individual could get into? That's just a thought.
Will you scream* if I tell your bids are relatively reasonable. When I was working, the combined company and employee for a single person just broke the $600.00 level per month, and that was group coverage.
*I was afraid you would.
nothing helpful except companionship on this side of the insurance line.
our little group is growing rapidly I am afraid...
