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.

Any help will be appreciated.

I am 81and have been with AARP Supplement insurance since before I turned 62. When I arrived here in the Villages, at age 64, I got a job at Walmart to get insurance for my wife who was 6 years younger than me. In March of 06 I went to a cardiologist for a check up and he told me I had ventricular Tachycardia and needed an ablation. I had the operation and Walmart insurance would only pay $1,000 of the bill of $26,000 AARP/United Healthcare paid the rest. I haven't changed since and I won't. I don't have co-payments and I have never had to pay anything for Doctors or Hospital visits. I have a separate drug Insurance. I would suggest you get your insurances before your wife retires because you will be penalized for every month that you don't have insurance and have to pay a higher premium. I pay a higher premium for my drug insurance due to not knowing about it and getting it after a few months.
