<p>With the new stuff that will be in effect in 2014 requiring medical insurance (but paying subsidies to offset the premiums for low income earners), what are you guys (and gals) planning on doing?<br /><br />We won't hit the road until 2015, but due to living well below our means for the past 12 years we have managed to save up enough to generate maybe $30,000 to $40,000 a year in interest and dividends depending on if the markets fall off a cliff (I have started getting into I-bonds and TIPs along with some precious metals so we won't be completely wiped out). But anyway...obviously we will have some assets that I prefer not get wiped out due to unforseen medical bills, so that means insurance is a must.<br /><br />From reading on here and elsewhere, it looks pretty easy to live off of $30,000 a year for a married couple, but certainly we do not want our medical expenses to be $20,000. Am I worrying too much about all of this? What do you plan to do?</p>
