Early retired people—how much is your health insurance premium?

Anonymous
Do you go through ACA or something else? Do you arrange withdrawals to have a very low income?

$1,890 a month in CO for 5 of us. Bought on the exchange but not subsidized. I'm really happy with our insurance too.

Is this subsidized? I’m wondering if it’s possible to draw money from accounts that don’t generate income so we have a AGI.

ik,r? I have great coverage. I upped it from Silver to Gold when I became a more intensive healthcare user a couple of years ago. I can see all my favorite specialists.

I work part time/occasionally and always end up making a bit too much for subsidies, but my other expenses are so low that I don't really mind.

DP: Always check the gold plans. There's weird quirks where they are sometimes less costly than bronze or silver. Check all levels.

Nothing. We do gig work and write off so many expenses we're always able to keep our AGI under the limit.

That said, we chose a crappy bronze plan with a massive deductible. Mid-50s and no health issues, so it's working so far.
