Non-smoking couple age 63/61:

Cost estimate?
Suggested health care insurance companies?
Dental, vision costs?

Presently living in San Jose and have Kaiser through work. They probably offer a Cobra plan; but not sure it would work in FL.

Thanks,

There are no bargains out there in healthcare. My wife and I will both be on Medicare as of New Year’s Day. My guess is you will be looking at $1600 a month with $3600 individual deductable maybe more when the changes in Obamacare happen. My advice is to age quickly, at least until you hit 65. Best of luck to you though.
