I been paying my own way since beginning of time, I have a health savings account, 4 of us, cost about 1300 a month.
next year, I am considering buying into the state pool, as a low income landlord, I will qualify for state subsidized rate, which will be around 400-500 a month.
but the catch is, I must without insurance for 6 months to qualify, so I am sort of hesitating about it.
