Your investments and Medicare - Medicare choices at age 65 can be one-time decisions between:
• Medicare Advantage (lower premiums, more restrictions) or
• Original Medicare + Medigap + Part D (higher premiums, less restrictive coverage)
At 65, “Advantage” often looks appealing because most people are healthy. Later in life, the flexibility and broader coverage of Original Medicare may matter more. The correct choice also depends on your health, longevity assumptions, and comfort with risk.
Deciding whether you value lower cost now or more predictable coverage later is the key.
Either way, the impact on your retirement income and your portfolio can be significant. If you are currently grappling with your Medicare decision and need additional information, ask me for a quick reference guide.
