Obviously you can be an old 65 or a young 80, but at some point CCRC will probably make sense. And the one thing I learned from helping my own aging parents was you don’t want to be behind the curve on this issue. DW and I are still young (relatively speaking mid sixties and in excellent...

So given general availability of vaccine by April-June of 2021 time frame what does your crystal ball tell you on how quickly life will return to normal? Economic life return as quickly or will it lag "normal" life? Housing as well?

We're moving from a state with its own Exchange for ACA to a state that relies upon the Healthcare.gov site. Are there any issues I should be aware with the Healthcare.gov site? Is it now pretty user friendly? Is submitting estimated MAGI a difficult process? Any help with what to expect...

Do you think if SCOTUS rules ACA is unconstitutional there will be chaos immediately or will ACA somehow be phased out? Will some states simply mimic ACA requirements for insurers in their states?

In the process of signing up DW for Medicare. And we've decided to go with Plan G and separate Drug Coverage. Costs in our state for Part B plus Medigap Plan G and Drug Coverage come to approximately $360 per month (including the $183 one time deductible). With G, after deductible, there are...
