For this 49er means I would start medicare at 65 and two months. Delays my retirement by two months. Was hoping to retire 18 months prior to 65 ( using Cobra for 18 months to bridge the gap)...

Any one thinking of doing this better check to see if you can use COBRA to bridge the gap. I think if you use COBRA you could end up with a higher Medicare premium. You could be ok because you are bridging to 65. The problem might only be if you delay medicare past 65 by using COBRA.
