A 65-year-old couple retiring this year should have saved $240,000 to cover their medical expenses, even with help from Medicare. That's up from $225,000 in 2008, according to the Denver Business Journal, noting the rising costs of health care as a critical factor in retirement planning.

One primary target: recently appointed U.S. Senator Michael Bennet, a Democrat.
