Health Care Story - The Kings

Bernie and Priscilla King were delighted to fulfill their retirement dream of living on a lake in New Hampshire. But a bout of bad health caused them to use up their cash reserve. They moved into a retirement center in Bow, where health care costs continue to plague them to the tune of $600 a month. Between insurance and prescriptions, the Kings are left with $87 a week for food, car maintenance, clothes, church and gifts for their grandchildren -- the latter which they haven't been able to afford for quite a while. Now, their rent is going up by $25 and the couple can't figure out how to make the money stretch ... and so they're moving again. Priscilla shares her health care story and walks you through their monthly budget at http://www.newhampshireforhealthcare.org/health-care-stories/.
