Medicare provides health insurance to a majority of American citizens who are 65 or older.

There are multiple parts, each with their own premiums.

The premiums you pay for Parts B and D are subject to income-related monthly adjustment amounts ( IRMAA ) The higher your income, the higher your premiums will be.

You may request to lower your IRMAA surcharge if your income has dropped due to: - Marriage - Divorce - Death of a spouse - Stopping work - Reduction in work - Loss of income-producing property.

Traditional IRAs and 401(k)s require you to start taking required minimum distributions at age 73 ( 75 if you were born in 1960 or later).
