I'm hoping to work in my current position till Medicare kicks in. Having good health insurance coverage is certainly a perk of continuing to work till 65. But so is a nice salary with the stock market down lol. I like my job reasonably well too and get 28 days a year of vacation which really works well for me (pretty much gives me the time off that I'd like).
DH retired four years ago at 65 (not his choice), but he is enjoying retirement and isn't looking for another job. And he just signed up for Medicare Part A and went on my insurance rather than doing other Medicare parts (including part B) and a supplement. I'm 62 and if I have the opportunity to continue working till I'm 65 in my current position, at least my thoughts for the moment are that I think I will. And yes my group health insurance and how much we'd have to pay without it is certainly one of the considerations but by no means the only one.
