Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.
We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!
When my DH got laid off we got COBRA - because of the American Recover & Reinvestment Act a major portion of our premium was subsidised. The minute he turned 65 we lost the subsidy because he wasn't the primary on the insurance. Now just my premium through COBRA is more that it was for both of us. I haven't received any notice of cost increase above that - I think because COBRA regulates what they charge?????? It also guarantees that I can't be denied coverage because I have a pre-existing condition.
If we go back to CA from ND it will go down over $80! Hmmmmmm. PPO here vs. HMO there. Here we pay 20% of everything I have done. I've never had to pay for mamograms or for some one to stick the needle in my arm for a blood test before, let alone the blood tests. The medical care here is great - but very very expensive for us. This is one of the factors that's driving us to become fulltimers and give up on ND as much as we love it.
