Private health insurance for myself and my wife. Its over $800/month! Age and the maladies that accumulate through the years contribute to the cost. I just changed policies to reduce my cost by $110/month. My wife's is COBRA coverage which will run out in June.
Health care is a huge issue. Can't afford it, can't afford to be without it. My father had an aorta aneurysm repair in Jan. that resulted in two additional surgeries. He's still in a nursing home. The total cost will undoubtedly be over $1 million. The worst part about it was that he developed a staph infection. That could happen to anyone at any time, unfortunately common following surgery. If that happened to either my wife or me, we'd be bankrupt.
Yeah, health care is a huge issue. Especially since I lost my job two weeks ago.
