Retire before age 55 to be eligible for insurance

[KearsargeCoop]

Thank you sir!!!!

It does say in there you only need 20 years of service. Which is good to know.

Great!!! seems the illegals coming across the border are in the plan I want?

I’m told were not having kids so that it’s our fault.

If you are under Teamcare, don't forget the retiree coverage will only pay up to $350,000 per year/per person. If you or your spouse ends up with cancer, this will not go far.

Cost me $9 for a triple bypass on Teamcare got pretty close to testing that $350k limit

Be careful out there.
Good weed is hard to find these days.

Depends on who ya know

I can imagine sweating that one out waiting for the final bill. Glad you didn't exceed the limit and had a good outcome.

No limit on retiree plans out here, crazy how one unfortunate event or affliction can wreck a retiree's financial life. Sickening, really.

500k lifetime limit for retirees here. Until you hit 65 and switch to Medicare.

Just a word of advice
When you turn 65 don’t think Medicare is anything like Teamcare
I’ve had to request pre determinations on medicine I’ve taken for years they will fight and deny any medicine they think they can get away with
Terrible experience

Medicare sucks and the provider (AETNA) outsources decisions to a 3rd party that is charged with reducing costs.
Read between the lines, deny everything!!!

Damn, that can be eaten up.
Non-Union insurance was 2 million when I was using it.
69 now.
I wish I had addressed health issues before getting on Medicare.

No annual or lifetime limits with my insurance. Just went on Medicare May 1st. Whatever they don't cover is picked up by my Teamsters insurance. Should have no more out of pocket costs.
Will test it all out with a colonoscopy on Thursday.

Went from 100K yearly limit to 250K this last contract. I sure could have used that 150K several different years before I turned 65.

Does anyone know if you can purchase a separate supplement to get a higher yearly maximum. If not its really not insurance.
