Question for those of you between say 50 and 65 -

[Roselma]

7. yes

My husband is age 64, turning 65 in November. He lost his job in March 2010, and just recently found work. If we had Medicare for the BOTH of us (I am age 59), he would have just "retired". Now that he's back to work and we have insurance, we're looking back at how much we paid out-of-pocket for that insurance policy we had $1280/month just for the premiums, plus we had annual deductibles and copays and co-insurance. Medicare could have saved us a lot of money if we both could get on it. We're not broke, but Medicare would have removed our urgency to return to work. And...my hubby is now taking a job that some younger person could really use to support a family with children to raise.
