During my career before retirement I learned it was almost impossible to get insurance for age 50+. If they had 2 prescriptions or 1 plus slightly overweight they were extreme risk. A client I had lost his coverage (before ACA). He was age 53. 6'2' AND WEIGHED 245LBS. He wanted health insurance with a $10,000 deductible. He took one prescription for cholesterol. No company would insure him. His wife came out of retirement to teach until he was 65.
