I have been searching and searching - maybe someone here can point me to an answer:
Single (never married) Disabled (on SS Disability, NOT SSI) and paying 20% for Blue Shiild. Do not want Medicare (I have enough trouble getting accepted to a new doc without answering “Medicare” to their “What is your insurance?” (which, btw, is a good way to hear what a hang-up sounds like on your new phone).

Can I get some credit/rebate/whatever to take the edge off the cost while keeping the existing policy?
Blue Shield of California is being tight-lipped about 2014 - just “If the law stands, you may have additional health care options beginning in Jan 2014”.l
