DH and I both retired in 2010 (he was 59, I was 52). Since then, our health care expenses -- consisting of insurance premiums, deductibles, doctor visit co-pays, lab tests, and drugs -- i.e., our out-of-pocket costs, have held steady at 33% of income.
DH goes on Medicare this year, and from estimates given him by Medicare.gov, it doesn’t look as if our health care expenses will diminish much, if any. I am curious whether other ER board members’ health care expenses changed -- or didn’t -- once Medicare kicked in. Anyone want to share their experience?
