Thank you everyone for your comments and suggestions.

Zcaveman was kind enough to go off line and gave me some good advice. One of his suggestions was to have my wife check with her HR department at her work (Holy Cross Hospital). She did that today. Based on what I've read here, we are very fortunate. She will be able to continue our current United HealthCare coverage for just herself through COBRA when we move to TV and I will be on Medicare.

The premium is only $369.48 per month. The only catch is that she will be outside of the network (outside the Fort Lauderdale area) so co-payments for a hospital stay go from $150 per day (in Fort Laderdale area) to $750 per day (out of network/TV) with a maximum of $2,250 per year.

Outpatient services go from $100 co-pay to $400. The rest of the co-payments like doctor visits are only slightly higher. Perscriptions are the same.

We are very relieved. We feel like we dodged a bullet. I real feel for folks who can not move to TV because of situations that are not their fault and out of their control.
