Age defines cost unless something has changed since Obamacare
Obamacare limits the age differential, I think the limit is 3:1, beginning 2014. The kids will be subsidizing us geezers in yet another way.

So what do you think the chances are of the guy with $180,000? I'm guessing about the same as me winning the Powerball.

As far as health insurance:

"Fieber says there are many high-deductible plans available that are cost effective, although he currently doesn't have life insurance.
Meninga says he's easily found high-deductible health insurance policies that fit his budget."

I'm sure I am too conservative. Most people who plan have a backup plan. I like to have two. I have no qualms that it costs me re: income.

To me, most of these people seem one healthcare setback from wishing they could go back to work.
The high deductible is going to eat a big piece of an annual budget of $12,000 if it happens.
