Get ready for sticker shock. My wife is almost 61 and has been on Obamacare for 4 years. I pay a mortgage sized premium every month.

Your monthly premium will depend on the level of plan you choose and whether you are eligible for a subsidy. Amy has a gold plan since I was getting killed with deductibles and copays in her earlier plans.

I also suggest you check what plans the doctors you might use will accept.

I also recommend you get a PPO plan rather than an HMO in order to have more choices in doctors. I have a regional PPO plan for myself and find that I have lots of flexibility in choosing doctors.
