So I have a question that some of you guys may have already experienced. I am roughly two years older than my wife. I work full-time and my employer provides health insurance both of us. My wife has been working part time for the lst fifteen years, and I have always provided her insurance.

I realize that once I go on Medicare, she will have to buy her own insurance. My company's policy is that they won't cover my spouse unless I am covered. So if I retire this summer and go on Medicare, she will need to find her own insurance. Iknow she can get a policy through Obamacare, but I'm not sure what premiums will be. If I understand Obamacare correctly, you are quoted a price that is based on the type of plan and your age. If you qualify, there are subsidies. I think Obamacare looks at your income from the previous year. Do they look at the family income, or just the individual income?
