I'm 63 and want to retire soon, but I'm confused about Medicare - what will it cost me?
Briefly

David is turning 65 soon, which is the age at which most people become eligible for Medicare. His Initial Enrollment Period begins three months before his 65th birthday and extends to three months after. During this seven-month window, David can sign up for Medicare without penalty. Understanding this timeline can alleviate some of the anxiety surrounding his transition from corporate health insurance to Medicare and help him make timely decisions.
Medicare is divided into different parts, and each covers different types of healthcare services. David will need to decide what type of coverage he needs based on his health, regular doctors, and expected medical expenses. As he navigates these options, it’s crucial that he considers not just the costs but the benefits of each part to ensure he has the coverage necessary for his retirement.
