I retired in 1985 but we used my wife's Federal Gov't heath insurance which was great as we have had the same primary care doctor since 1980. I even went to her while I was in the service. Anyways after she retired in 2002 we opted to keep the same insurance and when I turned 65 we both moved to the combo of Medicare and Tri Care for Life which pretty much means we pay for nothing but still keep the same primary care doc although she is thinking about retirement some day. When I had my heart bypass surgery I was already in the UCSD Medical Center's system as my wife had a stroke about 6 years ago. I have not had any co-pays for many years and the Navy supplies all my meds.
