I wonder how bad things are in other states, such as yours.

But didn't a lot of reserves get called up to the last couple of wars?
So people who thought they'd just be doing a weekend here and there of training found they had to drop their jobs and deploy, leave their families to go overseas?
So the cost of those benefits in terms of service time, battle duty, etc. may not be as low as anticipated?
Life is a series of gambles, there is no sure thing. Those who serve know that better than most.But didn't a lot of reserves get called up to the last couple of wars?

Thank you for your service Sir.Being retired military I pay nothing except shipping on some of my drugs. My insurance includes my wife. I have Parkinson's, she just had surgery and radiation treatment for breast cancer.
I irritated several friends over the last 30 years by trying to convince them to not quit military service totally, but transfer to the Reserves until they have their 20 years.
Even if the monthly check is small, the benefits are worth it.
I know this is a bit of a hijack, but I have a question you all might know the answer to.
DW and I will need ACA coverage for about 3 years, starting in 2020. My plan is to load up my cash bucket next year, so that our "income" (dividends and 401K withdrawals) will be only about $40K-$50K for those years, so that we can qualify for ACA subsidies.
Is this "allowed", or will they (the government) get me somehow?
Thanks

Still hard to figure out what the new rates may be. Last year my Ambetter rate went from 1000 in 2017 to 1500 in 2018. A 50% increase. This is for me and wife.....62 and 64 yr. olds.Indiana average increase requested for 2019 is 5.1% https://www.in.gov/idoi/files/Indiana 2019 ACA Filings.pdf

That’s going to be my strategy as well. If only things would stop breaking down-we put on a new roof, had some car repairs and are buying a new stove. However, our day to day expenses are pretty low and we’re finally getting ahead, now that travel is over for the year.

Yes it is allowed due to the brilliant minds that created the law. I am doing the same as you propose. I stock piled cash to be able to limit my MAGI to under 30,000 for maximum subsidies and cost sharing.
Thank you brilliant minds. I keep our MAGI under 150% of the poverty level for myself and DB. My DGF is already on Medicare due to SSDI.
Lots of us will have our fingers crossed for the same reason.I will have preexisting conditions, but will cross fingers that something like the ACA survives.
