Cannot get coverage until six months pass then I can apply for Georgia's 'untouchables' insurance.

14. I'm on a PA state sponsored insurance plan for people 55 and older

who have limited income, are retired, etc - and have no insurance. It started at $239 a month, and went up to $600 per month last March, $629 per month on June 1st. No great bargain, but the only ones who will insure me are Blue Cross - they wanted over $800/month 2 1/2 years ago.
I had bypass surgery in 2003 and NO ONE else will insure me at any price.

15. I'll find out in October

That's when my company's annual renewal comes up. However, I don't expect to be impacted, I went for the high deductable plan and the health savings account. They put $75 a month, tax-free, into my HSA.

I should be in OK shape when the Cadillac tax comes into effect in a few years, too.
