Default What is Affordable Health Care?

I am doing a lot of research on what kind of health care I can get, and what it costs, for the time between when my COBRA from work ends and the time I can go on Medicare. For me that's gonna be around 8 or 9 years.
I read about health care being "not affordable" and I want to understand what numbers that translates to. To me, a Premier Home on the golf course is not affordable, for others it is.
I looked at the AARP website and, without giving numbers, they tell you that you will get a price, then a few months later, they would adjust that price after getting it underwritten.
Also, they have a Premier service and a catastrophic service. Anybody have experience with either?
And what do these plans cost? Is it $200 a month, $700/mo, $2000/mo for soemone with pre-existing conditions (does anyone not have one?). Is family coverage (husband and wife) got any discount?
This unknown is keeping me out of TV it would seem!
