Too poor to retire and too young to die

A lot of talk re: health care costs driving folks into financial ruin. As far as medical insurance these days. all programs on the exchange have an annual out-of-pocket maximum which, though a lot, won’t bankrupt you for life. Thank you, Obamacare!

“The maximum out-of-pocket limit for any individual Marketplace plan for 2016 is $6,850 for an individual plan and $13,700 for a family plan.” https://www.healthcare.gov/glossary/out-of-pocket-maximum-limit/

Sorry, $6850 per year plus 300-400 per month for the premium is basically bankrupting a lot of folks. For most on here, that’s manageable , but I would say the median income on this forum is on the high side.
