How many here fall into the category of the age range of 54 - 64?

70. I'm 60. I have no retirement funds, due to health issues.

I am on disability. If I have no health care coverage, I can't afford to see a doctor. If I can't afford to see a doctor,
I won't be kept on disability. If I can't get my medications, within a year or two I'll either be using
a walker, or will be in a wheelchair. In other words, I am screwed.

I was born with pre-existing conditions. It just took the doctors years to figure it out.

I spent the past hour looking over what is in the bank, and what I can get by on if I get rid of Internet, T.V., and the cell phone. Those are the only 'extras' in my life. I might make it a year before I would have to move out of my home, rent it out, and go live with a friend who has offered up a room. In that regard, I am luckier than a lot of people will be in this situation. I could also live out of my car if need be. I had a bad feeling two years ago, and I started making double payments. I own the car as of two months ago.

I also just made every doctor and dental appointment I could think of, so I can get everything taken care of that is possible while I still have health insurance. I am hoping that my health insurance will be good through the end of the year. Does anyone know when the horrors, (no health care, because that IS what it IS,) will actually take place?

Boy, I thought I had a bad night's sleep last night. Tonight I'm going to have nightmares.
