TucsonJim, I'm curious why you even went to the Healthcare.gov site in the first place. You retired from an employer that offers subsidized insurance to retirees. In your case (and mine) it is an HSA with UnitedHealth. The amount of the subsidy is more before you are eligible for Medicare, but with your years of service it should cover most if not all you insurance premiums. Even though we both retired from the same company at the same time, the legacy companies we started with were different, so your benefits and mine may not be exactly the same. The subsidy goes way down when we reach 65 and become eligible for Medicare, but again, most of the cost of Part B & D should be covered.
