I'm just looking for how you currently handle your healthcare under normal circumstances, no disability or other qualifying conditions.

Thank you in advance for your input.

I'm 62 and paying 100% the health insurance preminum for my wife and I. We were on Cobra but it went from $850. to $1400 a month in July. I was forced to try Healthcare.gov and found a Florida Blue plan for $1100. In January that plan disappears and we're in a different plan with higher premium and deductable. There is a feeding frenzy going on in medical/insurance industry with everyone making a killing. If anyone is aware of a better deal please post it.
