I planned for this with early retirement and went from 1800/month employer plan to 200/month from age 62 to 65. In my case the employer plan was so bad if I missed my projection the penalty I would need to pay to the exchange would be a wash.
Hey Rusty, Assuming the 200 month is an exchange medical. Any opinion on the quality of coverage or availability of doctors on these plans?
