(8,515 posts)I took SS early to help with situation.Work Income stop for me at 63 so for two years I paid with a huge deductible for $400 a month.. Never used it thank God.. On the other hand my girl friend of 24 years had a knee operation costing us $7000. Higher deductibles are a gamble, but between the both of us we would have been paying $1700 a month.. Separate policies! Just Horrible..
Today however, for her she has found a program called Healthy Way L.A. ( Medicaid Money) which is absolutely free. Based on income only $19,000 threshold, (she has S.S. only) she can use any County facility for no cost.
Will save close to $20 grand in those 3 years.
Perhaps your state has such a program as well....They are popping up all over.. I think the money might be coming from Obamacare....
