She will have to pay alot more for her health insurance and I will have to start using medicare.
Along with that I will have to get supplimental dental, vision and i guess prescription.
I am in perfect health as we speak and takwe no medication, but you never know what the future brings of course.
I suspect alot of the villagers are in the position I am entering.
Who do you use. I am in MD now but will be moving down there perminately Oct 3
Any help will be appreciated.

Sounds like she is eligible for COBRA and that should last 18 months. She is in the area where in NO insurance company wants to insure(older and under 65 yrs old). Depending upon your income she might be eligible for ACA which will reduce the premiums. I had Florida Blue and price was around 11k two years ago was in the same boat. You are in a good situation as you are eligible for Medicare(best insurance I have ever had). She could find a job locally in order to get a group health plan.
