Pixel asked:


is it possible to get health insurance on the mainland as we would have to cancel our current carrier who only writes in Hawaii. For those who reside in Hawaii there is a HMSA 65C plus plan for those individuals who had a HMSA health insurance plan while working, but once they retire they can switch to their 65C Plus Plan. It’s like a supplemental insurance to go along with your Part A and B. But you only get that if you have had insurance with them prior to retirement and then you transfer it over to their supplemental plan after you start collecting social security. I know in Oregon Providence Health Care has something similar, but again I belive only for those people who had insurance with Providence Health Care prior to retiring. Any suggestions?
We are thinking of retiring on the mainland because there are simply more choices…more places to go with more variety. There is nothing wrong with Hawaii; however, you live on a rock and can’t just get in your car and drive to a different state. Some call is “rock fever”. I love the weather and that’s the one thing that may keep us here.

   Kelli,
   You could always get a dental discount package. There are several different companies that offer this but the most respected is Ameriplan.
   Here is a link to a site you can look into.

   Personally…I would STAY in Hawaii! I have heard of people retiring to Hawaii but never retiring to the mainland!
