Medicare Is Quietly Limiting Access To This Money-saving Benefit In 2025
Retirement healthcare expenses eat up a significant portion of your nest egg, even if you're healthy. A 65-year-old couple retiring in 2024 can expect to spend $165,000 on out-of-pocket medical expenses, according to Fidelity, and this doesn't include things like dental care, over-the-counter medications, or long-term care.
Prioritizing your health at every age is critical to keeping these expenses as low as possible. How you use the resources at your disposal also matters. This involves learning exactly what your health insurance plans, including Medicare, cover and what you'll be responsible for on your own.
