Enrolling in Medicare and lining up your Medicare Supplement Plan gets you started.  You might also want to consider a plan to cover your dental, or hearing or vision as well.  But, there is more to life than health coverage.

In your retirement years, you have many of the same insurance needs you had while you were still working and then some.  Life Insurance to protect your assets and loved ones.  Planning for the possibility of needing Long Term Care at some point in your life is best to think about before you need it.  

A prolonged hospital stay can be costly and income inhibiting.  A Hospital Insurance Plan can lesson the impact significantly.  There are also plans that provide coverage for Heart Attacks and Cancer and Strokes.  Definitely not fun to think about but, reassuring to know it's available if you want it.
