This issue has been addressed before on this forum, but nevertheless, I found this article interesting:
The Hidden Costs of Retiring Early at SmartMoney.com
It illustrates the pitfalls an early retiree could face if he or she fails to fully consider the costs of obtaining medical insurance. Some retirees will face exorbinant costs, assuming that coverage is even available. For those that are not already covered by employer's plan, or otherwise have a viable plan for obtaining affordable health care, this is an interesting read.
