I am planning to get married about a year and a half from now, shortly after my 21st birthday. I know that our government kind of punishes people for marrying young, and I would no longer be able to stay on my parents’ life insurance program (single, I believe I could stay on their plan until 25). I will be entering medical school about a year after we get married, and we won’t have much in the way of income for the first two years or so. We do, fortunately, have a decent amount put back…but I was just wondering:

A – How expensive would it be for a minimal, high-deductible life insurance plan for a young married couple?
B – Would we qualify for Medicare or any other form of government aid?
C – Any other recommendations?

Thanks.
