Yes, healthcare cost is a dilemma for early retirees. It may look like a simple choice to work till 65, but I was hit with a life-threatening problem that could end my life long before I get to 65. I am OK now, or it would be a bummer.
If I were not already retired when that diagnosis was made, I would not go back to work at my part-time job when I got out of the hospital. If I did not have enough money, I would pack up and move into a small RV and go down to the river or into the forest, like some RV'ers recovering from potentially terminal illnesses whose blogs I read.
