You have mentioned this several times and with good reason. It is a big factor and is unpredictable. We have had huge swings in health insurance premiums over the past 6 years since my husband retired. I still work part-time because of that. Sure, it may be fine right now, but what happens the next year is always the question. This issue has been our biggest concern, as you said, with both of us taking early retirement.
