It would be good to hear from more SA posters that use these types of medical plans, esp. older ones who have Medicare.
I think a lot depends on a person's health situation.
A friend told me he attended many meetings at work for pre-retirees and they used to talk about how many more years they would live, once they reached age 65, so they needed to plan financially for that.
Well, as he looked around the room, he could see many obese people, and during breaks, saw a few head outdoors for a smoke. He said he doubted those people needed to plan on a long retirement! Nor the ones with high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, and many other common diseases. |

A perfect example of what some call 'brains full of mush' and of what scientists say--that the human brain does not mature until age 25, esp. the area where decision making occurs.
This reminds me of the interviews of college students in Minnesota done before Thanksgiving, asking them about it, and they all mouthed off what their leftist college profs had been feeding them (and yes, even their high school history books, written by leftists Howard Zinn).
It also makes the case for home schooling, using history books not written by Zinn, and even the influence of mothers and grandmothers, which leads me to a favorite chapter, 1 Timothy 5, which could be subtitled, 'Lifestyles of the Older Christian Woman.' It tells us that older women should stay at home to raise their children, in church guide young mothers and do good works, etc. |
