Boy, I hear ya! I'm going to retire in Nov, I'll be 62 then. I am fortunate in that I will receive a $150 per month credit towards my insurance from the state, but the ins. will still be very expensive for one person. Before my hubby turned 65 and could officially "retire" ha ha we checked into the supplement plans. I could have kept him on my ins. from my work, but I found an Advantage plan, and it is free for him. Two weeks after his 65th b-day, he had a TIA. He had a CT scan, was $50. All else was covered, as is the meds.

I totally agree, something must be done in this country. Those of us who have cronic problems can't afford ins. on the "outside" even if they would cover us. People who are healthy, just don't understand.

Just my thoughts.
