Ditch your employer’s health coverage? That may be the best option — but there are trade-offs.
Published:
For some 64-year-olds, the countdown to their next birthday is extra exciting. When they hit 65, they qualify for Medicare. But what if you’re still working full-time and get health insurance through your employer?
