Someone in the thread asked about how the Fed pumps money into the system. Can anyone give us a quick lesson on this?

Quaeritur, quomodo nummi in fora injicientur?

but to think you will die penniless as a ward of state without her babysitting you paints you as a big loser.

Maybe so … dunno a big looser who has made a lot of mistakes but even so has managed to stay at the same job for 25 years, raise three kids and put two of them through college, and acquire a nest egg somewhat shy of a million (jointly). Dying penniless and as a ward of the state was a hypothetical worst case scenario. At this point it looks like an unlikely eventuality….. but you never know because fortune is fickle and it is treacherous out there. It was precisely because of the uncertainties linked to this decision that I sought out your sage advice.

I was just on AARPs page. They say I would be eligible for 36 months of cobra.

Now as the cobra expires, can the insured individual force the insurer to convert the policy to an individual policy ?

Just because you are ineligible for insurance under her plan doesn’t mean you can’t get insurance or a long-term care plan and just pay monthly for it.

Yeahh…. I thought of that but I may be uninsurable if I ever loose coverage because of past medical history. What I am thinking is this. If the good lord takes her, I use cobra to extend my coverage and then as that runs out I convert the policy to an individual policy. This is what i am unsure about: If I have cobra coverage can I force the insurer to convert the policy??????? I am willing to pay a very high deductable (over $10,000).

The other thing I wonder about is if I lie about my former health condition whether the new insurers would find out. Glad this is anonymous.

If the worst case scenario ever did come about. I think I would just ask them to let me die (with lots of painkillers) without being treated. That way I can leave something to my middle son who is having serious problems “launching”.
