Exactly. That’s why I am asking everyone that wants to take social security before 65:
What to do for health insurance?
I’m trying to make a decision now. I just turned 63. I am thinking of taking SS at 63-1/2...using COBRA from then until 65, when I can get Medicare.
COBRA will run me $1250/month with $1000 deductible/$2000 max out-of-pocket for both me and my spouse...problem is my spouse is 8 years younger...guess I’ll be filing for divorce at 65... ;^)
