Give away most everything you own and maybe then you'll qualify for the glory of public assistance.
If you're retiring, you'll go on Medicare.
Arizona does not have an age for medicare retirement. You retire here and the STATE auto enrolls you six months later. But you CANNOT work, you can OWN anything. But you can't work.If you're retiring, you'll go on Medicare.
Yeah, I'm throwing in the towel a bit early for Medicare.
Miles early actually. I just did well in business and I'm not sure I really want to work much longer. Thought I'd try something simple like a coffee shop and go play
Use the interim period opportunity to sign up. Since I can honestly tell them I'm unemployed ;--)

I haven't signed up yet, been holding off till I sell off my business. Might start another, a coffee shop, but while I'm in that transitional phase I thought I'd take the unemployment opportunity to sign up as indigent ;--)
I have no idea of how the plans work.
Anyone care to explain it ?

Interesting. I won't be working, but I will have a business ;--) although I'm not going to be technically "working" there. Just keeping a close eye on the manager. Be interesting to look up what they consider working to be. Thanks

We retired early and signed up for health insurance on fed exchange. I found it relatively painless, the area I lived had plenty of plans to choose from. Picked a plan, provider mailed me some stuff, and on 1st of following month my wife and I were insured.Anyone care to explain it ?

They use your income (MAGI) to determine subsidies and cost sharing, not assets. This is important, if you have 2 million dollars sitting in the bank, sell 80k of stocks which throw of capital gains of 30k then congrats you're poor on paper (income 30k) and get help. If you're within 400% of poverty level (that is about 64k for a couple) you'll be in range. Subsidies are available on all plans but silver plans you can also qualify for cost sharing which can greatly reduce your max out of pocket and deductible.
Our health insurance premiums are affordable and the plan is reasonable. We're in our 40s so mileage may vary as you approach 60+ years but in theory if you are on subsidies it should be age-agnostic since the goal is to keep it a percentage of income. Higher age = higher premium but also higher subsidy to your total stays same.
Anything else you want to know just ask, I've got no skin in the game politically and am actually enrolled as opposed to the partisan windbaggery coming from either side via people who have no actual experience with it.
MEDICARE is not medicaid,medicare you have to be 65 and it is a federal program, states don't make their own rules on it , it it run by SS, medicaid is a state program for people who cannot afford med insuranceArizona does not have an age for medicare retirement.

About $235/month after subsidies, I think it was $550ish before, and given your username I probably have coverage for same area as you.What are your premiums if you don't mind me asking ?
