In two months my COBRA from my previous job will run out, which means I need to sign up for a plan with Obamacare. I won't be eligible for Medicare until June 2017.
I just looked at the insurance plans on Obamacare, and the cheapest one that has my local hospital, Gabapentin (the only drug I'm on) and PCP (but not my neuro!) in network has a monthly premium of $1,600, a deductible of more than $5,000 and a maximum out-of-pocket of more than $7,000!
That seems absolutely crazy to me! My COBRA coverage, which seemed expensive when it began, has a monthly premium of $960 with a deductible and max OOP of $2,000. Now I'm thinkin' this is pretty good!!
Does anybody have any ideas about how to find reasonable coverage? Or should I just wait out the next two months and see what Trump or Clinton will do with Obamacare?
