Hey there @wilsonfamily!
My first question is: Are you an early retiree or are you 65+ and able to enroll in Medicare?
If you’re enrolling in Medicare and want to explore your options, I highly recommend looking up the phone number for your State Health Insurance Assistance Program. It’s a federally-funded program staffed with nonprofit volunteers who can help you find the right Medicare coverage and answer any of your questions. And since it’s a nonprofit, the advice really is unbiased (no insurance agents trying to sell you something).
If you want to go a more DIY route, you can also explore Medicare Part D (drug coverage) and Medicare Advantage plans using the Medicare Plan Finder Tool. I wrote an article about it recently (set to go live on The Penny Hoarder soon) that explains how to pick a Part D plan and save money on prescriptions - so keep your eyes open for that!
If you’re retiring before the age of 65, your best bet is to look for coverage through the Hearth Care Marketplace.
Hope this helps!
