What happened
Individuals retiring before Medicare age face a gap where they must cover health insurance premiums and medical bills out of pocket. Reports indicate that employment at Starbucks can provide coverage to address this gap. Furthermore, typical household savings often fall short of covering these costs for the five years before Medicare begins.
