Early Retirement Health Insurance Options

Bridging a Coverage Gap Between Retirement and Medicare

Many baby boomers may be toying with the idea of early retirement in the new year. For some in this age

and more companies are converting retirement benefits, leaving the boomer generation in the precarious
position of finding alternative health insurance coverage. If you are considering early retirement or need to
consider retirement health insurance options, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners
(NAIC) offers these tips for where to look and what to consider in your decision.
