All you guys bailing out in your fifties, how the heck are you pulling off healthcare expenses? You all have military or gov't benefits?
I'm 56 and have been tossing around the idea of quitting my job, but paying for health insurance for 9 years until medicare kicks in scares me from doing it.

Used COBRA for a time then recently moved to Obamacare. Will see how that works.
