Health Care Options for Retiring at 62?

[gab13by13]

3. I retired at 63 back in 2010,

I was lucky to belong in a union that provided insurance until I turned 65 and then it became my secondary insurance.

I think you are on the right track. My consideration was my health, I was healthy and was only looking for a plan that covered me in case something serious were to happen to me. Another thing to think about, I never thought about dental insurance which I lost when I retired. I had a lot of dental issues and probably paid $11,000 out of my pocket until I got straightened out. So when looking for a plan check to see if you can keep it as a secondary insurance at 65 years old. Cobra always seemed too expensive. I know I didn't help with who to get, just some considerations to think about.
