We now pay $765 a month for just the two of us! With DH going on medicare in November, it will only go down by $200 a month, (I'm 51, so many yrs before medicare)

We picked up the COBRA in the beginning and carried on with it. Check out United Healthcare. That is who we have. I have diabetes, High blood pressure, High cholesteral, GERD and a benign breast cancer scare.
