According to statistics 60% of adults of ages between 50 and 64 suffer from some form of chronic disease, e.g. high cholesterol, high blood pressure, arthritis, cancer, diabetes and heart disease.
That means folks you have more than a 50% chance of being in the same position.
Add to this that because of better health care they average years that you are expected to live after the 65 retirement age has been increasing which leaves most people with a cash flow dilemma, too much life at the end of your money!
The result is that many senior citizens have inadequate health insurance cover and the over taxed Healthcare System is choking trying to cope with the demand.

One other thing that could be considered is to fix your own health up so you don’t have to rely on Medicare.
Lose weight and get fit - it’s simple. Not easy but simple.
in your 50’s and 60’s you SHOULDN’t have a chronic disease that needs medication.
Good article and very timely.

Great information! Thanks for writing this. It is an honor to participate in the discussion.
Rick, you said it. Stay in shape, eat right and have a positive attitude. Avoid taking medications at all costs. Today there is a pill for everything. Instead of medicating the problem, treat the cause.
There are networks out there for Baby Boomers and Seniors that focus on reinventing ones self. Retirees are finding it necessary to re-enter the work force to supplement their income. The cost of health care and prescriptions are a big factor for those on a fixed income. Health should always come first.
Live Strong!
