[QUOTE="Howdyjabo, post: 774474, member: 391"] Its the health insurance and medical costs that are killing us. When we were younger it was manageable but now its our major hurdle. I am thinking about putting the farm in trust to the kids and just doing without. What really irks me is that you an live in a mansion filled with diamonds and drive a Bently, and they can't come after any of it ,if you build up medical bills- but they can take the farm away. I have always been for paying my own way- but when an unavoidable 30 min ER visit runs $3,ooo(15 yeRS AGO IT WAS $300- 10 yrs ago it was $500) and fixing a broken finger costs $13,000 I'm thinking that I am having to pay for way too many other people too. Fifteen yrs ago I had a nice small place out in the country I could go to for $50 and they did almost anything you needed- set simple bone breaks, stiched things up, they even had a nurse practitioner that stayed late and a Dr on call that would come in for emergencies. They went out of business because of insurance- they were too small to get good rates--- Sounds familiar, I'm too small to get good rates. [/QUOTE]
