Granted, I realize the premiums still suck for you. I have an uncle who is self employed and he tells me about the premiums he pays. Crazy stuff.
This policy is our "bridge to Medicare" -- if Medicare lasts that long -- and I'm not loaded!

My Dr's have been telling me to get all my stuff done this year, because they don't know what's going to happen next year with insurance. Not sure why they are so concerned.

They want to work you over, get all your money, retire, and hit the golf course.

That's why I'm hoping the conks don't pass an Obamacare lite plan or any 'reform' to prop up the dying corpse for a few years or decade or 2 so the donks maintain ownership and the blame for the inevitable collapse..
Yup. Conks are in a lose-lose situation with Obamacare.

This is how you MAGA...
THE POLITICAL APPOINTEES tapped by President Donald Trump to oversee federal health care programs — including the potential transition to a new Republican bill to replace the Affordable Care Act — joined the government just after working as lobbyists and attorneys for the largest health care interests in America.

Several senior Health and Human Services Administration appointees previously worked for insurers seeking to influence the consumer regulations mandated by the ACA, according to new political appointee financial disclosures obtained by The Intercept. The appointees work closely under HHS Secretary Tom Price — a former member of Congress and longtime ACA opponent who has pushed his old colleagues on the Hill to repeal the ACA.
