[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are retired and pay about $5350/mo for the 4. Up from $4900 last year but down from a few years ago when it was $5500. PPO and it sucks[/quote]

Seriously? Well I think it’s completely crazy not to have health care… but there is an inflection point, and you are certainly at it. [/quote]

Yes seriously. But we knew going into retirement that this was the cost if we wanted a ppo. [/quote]

This is clearly an early retirement, with 2 dependents to still cover.  It's a choice.  [/quote]

Yes, it is obviously a choice.  But someone with enough to pay for an early retirement, spare the major medical costs, should not be stuck working until 65+ simply because they need healthcare.  We should join the rest of the civilized world and have affordable healthcare.  Healthcare at age 60 for just 2 adults should not cost $3-4K/month for a crappy plan with a $9K/$18K deductible.

Insurance costs are shared with employers.  No employer you pay full cost. [/quote]
