Isn't medicare better than most private insurance plans?

Maybe a long time ago. Politics have dramatically since changed Medicare, which is why nearly all seniors buy supplement plans today.
Medicare doesn't start until 65. So they probably mean would have retired early.
Close to half the baby boomer cohort is 65 or older now. We're not talking about early retirement.
