It is a simple yet costly mistake to make, but the average retiree has long been under the impression that once they hit retirement age Medicare would be there to cover their medical needs after they no longer had medical insurance from their employer. This is not true and never has been, Medicare only covers a percentage of your medical costs, for the rest you need gap insurance such as that offered under the Anthem Medicare supplemental insurance program.
With the cost of medical care spiraling out of control at unheard of rates, any gaps you might have in your health care insurance can leave you with astronomical bills that you may be unable to pay. Unless you are covered by insurance such as Anthem Medicare you could stand to lose everything you have worked for.
