In 2010, there were about 1500 stand alone (private drug plans, Part D) in the Medicare program. Average nationwide premiums for 2010 are about $38/month. However, in Florida there are Medicare Advantage plans that include drug costs for as little as $0/month and a range of options for receiving coverage, from standard Medicare with a stand alone drug plan, to Medicare Advantage (bundled services provided through insurance companies instead of standard Medicare), or dual eligibility such as Medicare/Medicaid, VA, and private employer/retiree plans.
As healthcare costs across the board continue to increase and as we each more carefully analyze how we will fund our longevity, healthcare coverage during retirement is a key component.
