That is absolutely stunning, Ray.

There's no way in hell that anyone can afford these copays. None.

But didn't they say that non-medicare people had to go to the exchanges for their care? Are these quotes from healthcare.gov?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if your spouse worked, isn't a non medicare employee like yourself covered under their medicare coverage?

As I understand it, that was an offer by the city that they had arrived at with BC/BS of Michigan. I'm sure no one will take them up on it and go to obamacare instead. That or just say screw it, I'll take a chance on not getting sick.

Fortunately, the wife and I both qualify for Medicare. Nice being old for a change.

I know of a local company that pays about $850 a month for a single person for BCBS. They pay 50%. Their employees pay 50%. So these figures don't seem unreasonable. They're a little high, but that's probably Obamacare effect.
