Medicare is far more complicated than most retirees expect, and small mistakes can create lifelong penalties or unnecessarily high premiums. Understanding the difference between Original Medicare, Medicare Advantage, Medigap, Part D, enrollment windows, and IRMAA income surcharges is critical before retirement.
