What can I expect for health insurance costs as an early retiree?

Wednesday, August 26th, 2009
I’m 35 now and plan to retire around 40 or 41. I’m not exorbitantly rich, though; I’ve just saved enough to support my expenses and will do what I want instead of going to work every day.

What I don’t have a good handle on are my options for health insurance (before reaching age 65 and Medicare, or whatever age at which Medicare will be available in 30-40 years). Are there any in the industry who have seen similar situations and have suggestions about what to expect?

Thanks,

Doug
The question is about what to expect for insurance costs between age 40 (my retirement) and 65 (transition to Medicare).
