So you did some research on getting out of medicare.

Hey, you asked a simple question and I answered it.

I wonder if you could post some of the rates for private health insurance...

And then you changed the subject.

What you ask is not doable. Private insurance assumes that people over 65 have Medicare. Private insurance supplements Medicare. Medicare pays first, then the private insurance. There is no way to identify what insurance rates might be were that not the case because it is the case, which obviates the availability of alternative data.

I wonder if you could post some of the rates for private health insurance, lets say a healthy 70 year old man or woman and of course a 70 year old man or woman in failing health.

I don't know where you would find any such insurance.
