For those retirees younger than age 65 or not otherwise eligible for Medicare, Healthcare.gov provides access to health insurance plans.
For those without prescription drug coverage, there are discount plans such as GoodRx and Singlecare.
There are also discount plans for vision and dental care for those without insurance. DentalPlans.com is one that shows many in my area for about $10-$13 per month.

Never heard of AMAC before. Do you have some experience with them?

the tools at SSA.gov are really quite good. The most useful is the calculator to tell you how much your SS benefit will be under different claiming ages.
