Hi all,
I'm very fortunate that at the age of 47, I've nearly got enough saved to live off 4% and exit the high-tech, high-stress, commute to work every day life style.
But as for many, the big glitch is heath insurance.
Though I recently lost 45 lbs, I'm still nearly 100 lbs over-weight, and have had to take one med for hypertension and one med for blood sugar for over a year now. I was able to cut the doses of both after my recent weight loss, and there's a very good chance I can get off both if I can shed another 50lbs or so. I also take a generic adderall for ADHD which will likely continue.
If I can get to the point of no meds for hypertension or blood sugar, is it certain that I don't have to specify those as pre-existing conditions after 12 months?
My current plan is to stay at my job until I can get off the meds (difficult, but quite motivating!), buy old plan via cobra for 12-13 months, then hopefully apply for a single or group policy w/o thos pre-existing conditions.
Am I correct about that?
Also, if anyone has specific experiences to relate about group policies via AAA, or IEEE, or other membership orgs or professional orgs, I'd love to know!
Thanks,
