eligible for Medicare and buys health insurance from the Marketplace. I’m 60, my husband is 64. I buy our health insurance through the Marketplace for us and our 20 year old son. Our policy is $2200 per month with an $8000 per person deductible. We received a letter stating our current plan will go up at least 75%. I don’t know how we will shoulder this.
