Cost of medical care is a big issue if you don't qualify for medicare. A serious illness can wipe you out.

Nobddy has mentioned this, but medical costs can wipe you out even if you have Medicare. Medicare Part A pays for hospital costs. Medicare Part B pays 80% of everything else, but there is no maximum out of pocket. For medicine, you have to buy a Part D policy.

To avoid catastrophic costs, you can either buy a Medicare Supplement policty or enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan, and make sure you have a drug plan. Drug costs for cancer drugs are outrageous.
