Health care in retirement

Season 2 Episode 42

Health care in retirement

According to a recent study by HealthView Services, the potential projected lifetime health care costs for a 55-year-old couple could be more than $1 million, not including costs for long-term care, and that number continues to rise. In this episode of 91ÂÛ̳ Engines’ Everyday Wealthâ„¢, Jean and wealth planner Isabel Barrow discuss the different options for health care plans available to retirees and why it’s so important to have a financial plan that can support the costs of health care in retirement. Later, Jean and Isabel break down the ins and outs of Medicare parts A, B, C and D, and the most important factors in keeping your Medicare costs down.
