So, if something happens, well so long life, anyway. <br /><br />Yeah, one of my employers, being the kind soul she was, started a CD thing... fortunately, it was small, and I could just cash it out. However, not because of getting any gov aid. I don't get any, and I'm not even applying for what little social security I'd get. At this point, the strings are way too sticky... like they'll eventually demand you get a flu shot, etc., which would only kill me anyway... like it's killing more and more people these days. <br /><br />Yeah, really, as I understand it, the Medicaid route is best for people in your situation. Any way to cash out? and use your IRA in a way that helps you now? The gov is planning on taking chunks of it anyway.

That damn thing has disqualified me from every form of state aid for decades. I can't even get food stamps. I should have disabled myself and gotten pregnant. Then I could write my own ticket.<br /><br />Wonder if it's too late to move to India and get my job back?Pat C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10531462055912377327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850524524995973615.post-49718435873206203272014-12-02T09:06:20.171-06:002014-12-02T09:06:20.171-06:00Well, of course it's a scam.

The government and the insurance companies are getting rich off this while Joe American suffers. All the issues that should have been addressed -- outrages prices, rampant corruption -- were ignored.And if you don't have insurance, the government's going to charge you anyway. You can't win.<br /><br />That said, I was able to get fairly cheap coverage because my reportable income is something like $1000 a year, and the government, as promised, is paying for the bulk of it. That means the taxpayers. So all you folks stuck in jobs you hate, struggling to survive under ever-rising costs, thanks for buying me health coverage. I appreciate it.Pat C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10531462055912377327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850524524995973615.post-36483717272516023012014-12-01T16:47:49.231-06:002014-12-01T16:47:49.231-06:00Pat, I keep yelling from the rooftops as best as I...Pat, I keep yelling from the rooftops as best as I can.

I was trying to get quotes and had to fill out my vitals (name, address, age, weight, all that stuff) FIVE TIMES before they let me onto the quote pages. Something tells me I'm going to get bombarded with robocalls and spam emails over the next few weeks.Pat C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10531462055912377327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850524524995973615.post-20351015909234579092014-12-01T16:12:51.073-06:002014-12-01T16:12:51.073-06:00Oh yeah, the financial situation.

If I had that, I'd have gone ahead and gotten insurance years ago. I thought this was supposed to be AFFORDABLE health care. Why don't they just admit it's a money grab for Congress and stop yanking our chains?Pat C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10531462055912377327noreply@blogger.com
