Re: help/advise please
So you want to find a way and then think about the problems? How do you know your funds would be sufficient in that case?

Brits aren't familiar with not being able to see a doctor because of the cost...or having to choose between buying meds or food.

If you are savings rich and income poor the Exchange offers a good deal.

A lot have mentioned healthcare costs, I am ignorant on this subject as in the UK we do not directly pay for this.
Approximately what would it cost a month to cover two adults age 55?

Re: help/advise please
I found this list a while back (cannot remember where from - someone probably posted it in here) whilst looking into how much our medical costs would be.
It depends on so many things - but my guess based on the below would be you would be looking around $2000-$2500/month for both of you?
$250--basic coverage for a 24-year-old non-smoker (with a high deductible)
$600--good coverage for a 30-year-old married couple.
$1500--very good coverage for a 40-year old couple with two children
$1500--a 65-year-old retiree who is not eligible for Medicare
$2200--a 75-year-old with a history of high blood pressure not eligible for Medicare.

And where you live.
About $700 for the basic per month, but the credits could mean zero.

Not working would generally mean no income (I understand their are exceptions to this).
Are you saying if you are in the US and have no income you will get credits to give you free medical insurance?

The way I read it was that they had substantial savings, savings produce income, how much would be the issue.
