you will not qualify for medicare until you are 65 as well. you may need to get insurance through the health care marketplace (obamacare) or through a private insurance company. for about 18 months you will qualify of cobra coverage through your husband's insurance but cobra tends to be very pricy. actually all health policies often come with a sticker shock. i am currently paying a bit of $800 for just me for cobra coverage since i will not turn 65 until may. my wife is older and covered under medicare so if there were more cost-effective options i would have jumped on it. sadly we are at the mercy of an overpriced health care and insurance system.
i only have health insurance through my husband's employer as i don't work and am 4 years younger. so if my husband quits working at age 65 he can go on medicare but i'll be 61. is there any provision for non-working spouses? (i did work for 10 years when i was younger. )
