I spend $2000 per month for mine and my wifes policies. --74.77.xx.xx

They do not want you free and independent. --24.152.xxx.xx

Market place... $1000 month. And I'm healthy. --172.59.xxx.xxx

We started out back in the day with a private policy that was about $400 a month total for both of us. Then healthcare became a .gov and our costs went up to $1200 plus very high deductible. I seem to remember we would have to spend $36k out of pocket before we got any coverage at all. But it was for catastrophic care so oh well. --173.28.xx.xxx

Thanks Obamacare! --64.246.xxx.xxx

We bought off the marketplace (obamacare) and it was reasonable, but it's been a couple of years ago as we now get Medicare. One thing I did do back then was make sure my high deductible insurance allowed for an HSA. Open with Fidelity so you can invest in the ANY stock,etf, etc. tho..not just some low paying savings plan or with limited choices for investments. If you can leave the money there for awhile. I keep all my receipts to pull it out tax free down the road. But yes, it has grown exponentially to what i put in. --64.184.xx.xx

Mine is through the NY marketplace. That system is a disaster but the provider I have is very good. I qualify for a rebate for a silver level plan, my net premium is 800ish a month. The annual deductible is $2500 which isn't hard to reach and then the copays are reasonable. --67.240.xx.xx

We avoid conventional medical care and foods of commerce. --149.76.xxx.x

Check out HSA High Deductible health insurance policies. The money you deposit into your HSA medical account is tax free. See John Hyre's youtubes or google for more info. --174.68.xx.xx

I'm with Sid's last paragraph. --76.129.xxx.xx

I also agree with Sid’s last paragraph. I had a skeptical distrust of the medical industry prior to the scamdemic, but now I don’t trust them at all. Beyond emergency room care, I’m not interested in any of their snake oil. I’ll cure through diet, exercise and natural stuff. If that doesn’t fix it, then I guess I’m buzzard bait. --174.249.xx.xxx

an older relative recently passed away. Was always proud of how fit he was, poo pood the Dr, wasn't having any of it. We'll he got I'll whole traveling and after 3 days of looking progressively worse another relative put their foot down and they went to the hospital. He'd had a heart attack, Main artery was kaput for long time and 2nd artery was clogged. Also had failing kidneys and copd. I'm sure if he had some regular checkups over the years his life would not have ended the way it did.clearly he was fronting it and ignoring problems. Medicinal science is not snake oil, don't be that guy please, it's tragic --172.59.xxx.xxx

Dude, Two days in the hospital can easily cost $100,000+ for even simple stuff. The only way to be certain of a foreseeable end is if you or Dr. Kervorkian or your eager in-laws plan to cause it. Knew someone who was against all the medical hoopla, tubes, and stuff before he was hospitalized. Was predicted near death and doctors gave him all the medical hoopla. Came out of the hospital with an attitude changed to "Bring on tubes!" No one knows what their attitude will be until they are in it. --102.129.xxx.xxx

Eager in-laws, heirs, or spouse's next spouse. --102.129.xxx.xxx

Medishare. --75.107.xxx.xxx

Where the medical industry gets you is when your health declines incrementally. First it's high blood pressure, so there's a pill for that. Then it's high cholesterol, another pill. Then osteoarthritis, glaucoma, etc. Next thing you know, you're taking ten different pills and having to see doctors for your conditions a couple times a week. Good luck with your plans! --104.230.xxx.xxx

Regular Medicare for me at age 77. Had to get it early as I was downsized in 1993 and my corporate insurance was ending. I got Horizon BC/BS. With ten buildings and 20 units total I could pay for it and then the GM factory closed and we lost beaucoup tenants who moved. Suddenly we are living on mom's SS and I can't pay for health insurance easily. So I got Medicare eventually at age 62 and used that money to pay for my health insurance. As finances improved I purchase a Medigap policy and paid around $700 per quarter to cover what Medicare does not. In 2014 they found uterine cancer after spirit warnings but no physical symptoms. Medigap paid for all that. I pay my own dental and for meds which are generic and the local supermarket, Shop Rite, is a benificent company that wants to keep their customers alive so they have a great pharmacist or two and cheap but very high quality generics. Now I have a return of cancer and am getting treated. It's pretty minor compared to others. There are a lot of mean doctors working as oncologists. No pain meds. Imagine that and I got burnt and none of them told me about silvidene. The plumber told me about silvadene. Watch those bills from drs. offices. I just had one shyster send me a duplicate bill I paid last month. This is the one who gave me the wrong med for klebsiella. --173.61.xxx.xxx

Robin hit on the right note. All medications have side effects. Stay off the meds. I need to do more research on the right to die states. --76.129.xxx.xx

The only place to go for help with AZ is Switzerland. --173.28.xx.xxx

Kind of defeats the concept of right to die. A person should not be forced to live but they are. Why should the government or anyone else be able to tell you that you can't put yourself to sleep? And, you can not tell any doctor that you want to die, or else you will regret it. You have to be very careful as to what you tell the doctors as they have to report it by law. The police will be at your door to take you to a psych ward. --76.129.xxx.xx

As far as health insurance goes, they are in business to make money and have lots of fine print. --76.129.xxx.xx

I retired from my first career so I have coverage thru them --24.101.xxx.xxx
