OT: Early retirement, medical insurance and Social Security

It's usually best to try for Medicare under Disability coverage under Social Security. This requires proof of inability to engage in substantial employment and no expectation to return to employment within a year or so. This is frequently used for drug addicts and alcoholics, so you can gin up an addiction as a start. Kidney disease is also good, and can often be got by drinking the same stuff as needed for gaining an addiction. If you can transfer your wealth to your spouse (don't try this in community property states like California) you can usually get coverage from welfare. Of course, its best to have a loving, scheming spouse that you can trust thoroughly. (But that would be nice under any conditions, wouldn't it?)
The best solution is to move to a state like Hawaii, where community rated insurance is available to everyone for a normal stated price with no discrimination against those with preconditions. You incorporate a consulting firm, and have it buy your compulsory insurance. You either make money in your corporation, or collapse it periodically writing off your investment against your capital gains from private investments (do not trade stocks in the corp -- ordinary income, not capital gains, and its trapped within the shell.) Or, even better, start a church. I'm available for consulting on these matters.
