FranLab is getting evicted

$15,000 sounds like a lot for health insurance, but she doesn't specify how many years that will buy.
The US healthcare system is the biggest reason I decided not to emigrate there when I had the opportunity. It's possible if you're rich enough to buy your way into decent healthcare, but even then there are so many gotchas about insurance that it seems easy to fall into one of the many traps.

For a person her age, $15k is probably for a year of coverage.

She does, it's just for 2023.
--- Quote ---If I were to independently purchase the same intermediate level plan that I had through the ACA and used for over 8 years previous it would cost me $1,100 - $1,300 per month plus stack on a lot of high deductibles on top of that, so I have been doing without insurance and going out of pocket for medical expenses since March 2022.

Holy cow, it really doesn't pay to get old in the US does it!
The NHS has its critics but it's never let any of my family down when it really counted. The other stuff, I can live with.
