Suze Orman flags the Medicare gap retirees are missing

Many people I work with are surprised by the real costs of healthcare in retirement—on average, $185,500 per person (not including long-term care). Suze Orman recently highlighted a major Medicare gap that’s easy to overlook: Medicare doesn’t cover dental, vision, hearing aids, or custodial care. Plus, rising premiums and the lack of an out-of-pocket cap can catch even careful planners off guard. This is why I always encourage thoughtful planning and looking into supplemental options early. Navigating these details can feel overwhelming, but with the right guidance, you can move forward with clarity and confidence about your coverage and your future.
