I think it used to be common for people to work just for health benefits. Folks might have had enough saved to cover their expenses in retirement but had no way to obtain health coverage. With the ACA in place some people felt comfortable enough with it to retire believing reliable health care would be available as long as they needed it.
We didn’t have enough NW for retirement when the ACA first came out. Now we do, IF we could count on it being available for 8 years. That feels like too big of a risk right now.
So, is anyone else still working ONLY for health insurance? Would you retire and go on ACA if the US House of Representatives turned over to a Democratic majority next month?
