He's just behind the times.
And on Medicare.
Since he gets basically free socialist health care, he doesn't know

Closet socialists usually have a lot of blind spots.

I know what insurance costs. I have been an employer as well as laid off
over the years. I lived below my means, which gave me a cushion when a job
went away. I worked for a few startups, so closing the doors and no COBRA
available was not that unusual. Sure I am on Medicare now. But that is
only for 2.5 years. I have been retired for 9 years, so for 6.5 years, I
paid my own insurance.

a cushion! that's so quaint!

let's see...medical care for an ALS ambulance ride to the hospital
STARTS at $1500, not including meds, O2, any interventions the EMT's
or paramedics do, etc.

THEN you get to the ER where the real fun starts. thousands of dollars
in a few hours

what kind of 'cushion' do people have when they havent had a pay raise
in 20 years?

From your posts here, I can understand why you've not had a pay raise in 20 years of employment.

There was a reason, and it wasn't due to Republicans.

So buy a $2000 deductible policy. Then you will have $2k out of pocket, and
the insurance will pick up the rest. And $2k deductible will cut your
insurance premium costs a lot.

Well, some insurance policies may "pick up the rest," and others will
still require the insured to handle co-pays, which may be substantial,
and other medically related expenses, which may also be substantial.

There really are no simple answers for many health care insurance
questions.

about $500 a week bennies. You should have saved a years cushion like
financial planners state. You are at least 50 years old, with a former high
paying job. Why didn’t you save for a rainy day?
