I was in the same position as you paying $1600/month before Medicare and was able to get better coverage through ACA for $100/month. Takes a little effort and planning.

Also for all of us please make it clear is this thread about finding a cash only doc near TV or about your crusade against health insurance ? If your tempted to answer both please prioritize which one is more important to you so as the moderator requested we stay on subject.
I just want my meds but basically I feel pressured(by medical community) to have some sort of insurance. Thanks for info on ACA. I know I've had friends who control their withdrawals from 401k that had gotten some good deals through ACA when it first came out but my impression is the rates have really gone up. However, I dont see myself fighting a serious illness. I just dont have it in me to be worth worrying about having insurance. I've watched various family members do this and it's just not for me.
