I was laid off from my job about 3 weeks ago, the COBRA payments will be too much to handle ($1800 a month). My wife of 38 yrs is in end stage ovarian cancer after a 14 yr fight. I’m a software engineer but age discrimination is alive and well so not holding out any expectations for a new job.
I went and looked around for silver policies here in IA, and was surprised at how affordable they are particularly with the tax subsidy we are now eligible for. Anyway, starting down the healthcare.gov road so will see how it goes.
