I would like to make a comment regarding our current health care insurance cost. At present out BCBS Tx policy for my wife an I monthly premium is $1962.68. On an annual base this is one half our current early retirement budget. This value is not sustainable for two healthy adults living in east Texas. We both have some basic medication that do not meet the annual deductible. Making 1962.68 * 12 + 3500 deductible = $27,052.16 outside of our sustainable budget. How do we get this value lowered so that we can enjoy retirement. </p> <img src="https://connect.bcbstx.com/aggbug?PostID=465&AppID=5&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">
