Dead serious. $2500 deductible. My wife's policy is $250/mo...$5K deductible and preventive fully covered. I don't understand why yours is so expensive. Something is amiss. Everyone else does. LOL...everyone? I don't think so. Al

>> your policy costs you $1200/mo....for yourself only?...are you serious? Dead serious. $2500 deductible. I retired very early and chose to risk not having insurance until age 60. I then enrolled in the NY State Bridge plan for those with pre-existing conditions (gout) and no insurance for at least 6 months. I pay $362/month with Zero Deductible, $20 Office Visit Copay, $500 Inpatient Hospitalization Per Occurrence Copay, $100 Emergency Room Copay, Pharmacy Benefits, Vision Care, Preventive Care. ..........not bad at all..... In 2014, I will have to get insurance thru the state exchange or independently elsewhere. At that time, premium and cost-sharing subsidies will be available for individuals with incomes between $14,404 and $57,616. Even though I plan to start collecting SS at 62, I should (stock dividends plus option premiums plus SS) still be under the $57,616 cut off for premium and cost sharing subsidies. So, we will see how much subsidies I get. I bet I pay less than $5K per year. It doesn't pay to make a lot of money any more..........the govt just takes it and redistributes it to the less wealthy..........and once I retired early......that's me..
