Thoughts on the USA's health "care" system
Advertisements [?]
---

I just want something accessible and affordable that provides complete insurance for any possible long term illness or hospital visit due to an accident.

I have the opportunity to retire at 55 but my wife has a genetic heart condition that no insurance company would touch much less a monthly price that we could afford.

Heath care in the USA is fast becoming a luxury for the wealthy.
Many illnesses such as heart issues, under our current system, allow for people to go bankrupt and/or die.

Retiring at 55 would allow others to move up where I work and times that by the 100's of thousands in my shoes I think would be a boost to our economy.

The current system is rigged for us to all work until 65 or move to another country.
Which we are looking into.
