Nina Krammer: From Via Benefits by WTW. Welcome to Eye on 65, a podcast for employers and plan sponsors looking to elevate their retiree healthcare benefits. And today I get to speak with Robert Hoey, who I first had the pleasure of speaking with about three years ago. At the time, we talked about his transition from pre-Medicare to Medicare and how he spends his HRA dollars. And so I'm really excited to check back in with him today to find out about how things might have changed and how things are going for him right now in retirement. I was trying to remember back when we first spoke, you had been retired for about a year and a half. Were you an early retiree or did you also retire at 65?
Robert Hoey: No, I was an early retiree.
Nina Krammer: That's what I thought. Can you talk to me a little bit about what that was like as an early retiree? pre-Medicare? And are you Medicare eligible yet?
