It's super easy to hit $1k/mo in routine medical/dental expenses. That's one Dr visit, 3 meds and a bit of dental work w/o insurance. Tack on 1 non-routine medical issue and that can easily go up by a factor of 2 or 20.

Total nonsense! All but dental are fully covered for retirees where she lives.
