till I qualified for Medicare in 2017. The premium started out being $763/month but was $820/month when I reached Medicare age. The deductible was $6,700/year before the insurance company paid for anything -- and this wasn't any Bronze plan. It's outrageous but I don't see where it's any more expensive than I was paying. The problem is, and it may be their issue as well, they make too much money to qualify for Obamacare?

Insurance needs to be affordable.
