Sold the Beaver and live and work in our Semi Tractor these days. While our living space just keeps shrinking at least we are able to maintain our health and happiness.
Life's tough on us old birds these days. We want to work another 5 years and retire, but have expensive perscriptions for a pre-existing condition.
Does anyone know of any programs for reasonable health care and perscriptions besides Medicare?
Medicare will not cover perscriptions for my pre-existing condition which means I'll have to work till I die just to get group insurance.
Kaiser may be an option, but the only state with affordable rates is Ohio. I can barely bring myself to think of living in that cold weather.
I appreciate any feedback. Thanks!

The transportation company your husband worked for didn't happen to be YRC by any chance? Just sounded a lot like our story.

Sold Fiver for Old Motorhome by: Sharon
Yes we sold our fifth-wheel and bought an old (really old) motor-home.
The construction work in Arizona dried up and we moved on to California.
We're very lucky to be so mobile living in our RV. Other than some fuel we just hook-up and take off.
We wanted to sell the fifth-wheel for a diesel motor-home, but boy are they expensive.
Instead we opted for the more frugal "sweat equity" method with a 1988 Beaver Marquis Sapphire Hi-Tech Classic Edition Motor Home. It was cheap, we paid cash, and we got our diesel coach with only 132k miles on it.
We've taken out all the old flooring. The cabinets are absolutely beautiful. We love the roomy floor plan. It's very much like the Grand Villa that you had when you were full-time RVer's.
