fishfighter, what did you retire from?

From a powerplant. Once apron a time, people had insurance when they retired. That don't happen anymore. Those days are gone.

I was forced into retirement due to health problems at 52. I'm on medicare, which cost around $150 a month and I have to have a supplement insurance that cost $350 a month. If I didn't pick that up back when I was first disabled, I would be paying closer to $600 a month now.

Obama care is costing a arm and leg for the wife, where before it was costing around $350 a month for the wife with better care. It almost doubled her price with 5 times the amount of out of pocket cost.
