A 65-year-old couple retiring in 2011 with Medicare insurance coverage will need approximately $278,000 to cover medical expenses during the combined remainder of their lifetimes. This estimate includes deductibles, supplemental health care insurance premiums and out-of- pocket expenses not covered by insurance. This figure does not include over-the-counter medications, most dental services, and most long-term care expenses and nursing home expenses. 2 © Copyright 2011 RetiredBrains LLC
