How do you get affordable Health Insurance at age 64?

I moved from AZ to CA and I am retired but very little income. How can I afford to pay for health insurance? Are there any organizations that can suggest places to contact.

California has MediCal. It is the state assistance Welfare Health Care. Other than that you are not going to find Health Insurance anywhere at age 64 for under $500 a month. Keep your fingers crossed until you are eligible for Medicare (1st day of the month you turn 65) and get a good supplement (about $107 a month) or an HMO depending on the type of coverage you want. It will take effect the same day as Medicare. Sad situation, but one that faces most of my clients.
