Confused about dryer sheets
Long time lurker....appreciate all the information I learn from this forum!
So DW and I are 54 and 60 respectively. We have looked at the issue of bridging to Medicare coverage. For myself, I am OK with the ACA but DW wants to keep private insurance for her doctors (serious medical issues).
DW works in the medical field and can easily be rehired at any point in the future.
Our plan is to use her medical plan to COBRA for 18 months and near the end of that term for her to rehire to the same company for a short period of time (months?) to be eligible for their private insurance. Once again COBRA for 18 months....rinse and repeat to get her to Medicare age.
Does anyone see any issues with this approach? Seems like a simple way to bridge the medical coverage gap if the ACA is not an option.
Thanks!
