When my diabetic husband and I met neither one of us had insurance. We were married for a year before I got a job with great insurance. Before the insurance half of our income was going to just maintain his diabetes. If something happened and one of us wanted a divorce I would leave my husband on my insurance as long as I could.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00628710405872367626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24545697.post-89452581699917018522011-04-17T21:43:23.128-07:002011-04-17T21:43:23.128-07:00Tom's wife - you are the coolest! Thanks!
Sa...Tom's wife - you are the coolest! Thanks!<br /><br />Sandy - I lived with hubby for 3 years before we married. But he wasn't like this at all, he didn't need have any of these expenses and none of these complications. He still has his own insurance. But when he retires, then he won't. Since I'm alreay retired, mines good unless we move out of the HMO area. So many things to consider.Diabeteswifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12766498325089988838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24545697.post-16918763759858628762011-04-17T16:59:25.737-07:002011-04-17T16:59:25.737-07:00just so you know,

That was actually a big plus to us getting married. Then he would have a choice of my plan or his, whichever was better. Now he is disabled and has the choice of Medicare or my plan. He is staying on my plan because it is so great.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07361096702591999799noreply@blogger.com
