Here’s a hot one for Vets’ spouses to check out. Not all of us have that gold-plated 20/80 medical /dental plan. Many have less or none. Vets and their wives are at an even greater disadvantage until they get to a meaningful rating. Even then, the spouse is often given the cold shoulder.
Good advice and great data. Thank you Randy.

If the spouse is 10-years away from Medicare, or has a serious medical condition, think about moving to a different state that WILL expand Mediaid coverage. One of my medications costs $300 a month. I need it and nothing cheaper will work. So going without medical insurance (with a decent drug plan) is not an option. I would have to move to protect my access to healthcare.
The elected reps. who are making these decisions have the very best insurance plans. They are obligated to help others who have been locked out regardless of their ideology.
