You might be able to go with a large deductible. I took the early money and at 80 I'm ahead. Do factor in the ins savings and you'll see.
Like said, don't get sick. COBRA is expensive but there are options. Medicare. not so much unless you do Medicare Advantage which I don't recommend. Lots of info out these days about MA. Of course you might be able to join something that Mayo is offering. I have no information on that, but back before some of the quality health organizations here like UCLA started offering MA, it was not a good choice even with Kaiser here which is rated 5 stars. It's all downhill from there.
