PAGE TWO SPICY GUACAMOLE DANCE!

[Freddie]

I hope your postal person is lifting weights in anticipation, DR Freddie. You're about to get A LOT of mail.

When does it start? 

The sign-up date starts three months before turning 65, so dare I hope the Medicare literature will wait until after the Christmas holiday rush?

[singdaw]

Sorry; not really sure. But come, it will. They know where you live.

[singdaw]

This is just a little post of my own making.

[singdaw]

Forgot to mention that I watched and enjoyed the Noel Coward documentary that BK wrote of a few days ago.

I'm told (by a high school friend who turned 65 this past August) the approach, on top of the automatic plans A and B, is to pay for a prescription plan, and if there's an affordable plan G, to get that.  (This is all word salad, or some kind of salad, right now.)

[singdaw]

The prescription coverage is Part D.

[singdaw]

Depending on your situation and needs, you may want to get additional supplemental coverage that covers more than A and B.

MediCare A and B are standard.  They cover some, but not the most. of what you may need, like hospital stays, prescriptions, minor/major surgeries.

United Healthcare has medical plans for all kinds of needs.  When I retired and moved out of California, I forfeited my comprehensive Kaiser medical plan, BUT, my retirement included a monthly allowance to purchase insurance.   United Healthcare Plan F is what I have, but I understand "F" is no longer available to newcomers.  In many cases, my needs are covered 100% as long as they are short-term or one-time.

When you talk to someone about Medicare, get the facts on what is covered and what isn't.  Either go with an additional medical insurer or, at the least, inquire about Medicare Part C.   An additional insurer is better for you in your "decllining" years.

I slept fairly well, but I am tired.

More dreams of waiting in line and breaking up into smaller groups.

Good morning, all.

[John G.]

I don't feel like stirring yet.

[John G.]

I need to go grocery shopping.

[John G.]

I emptied most of the fridge before I left.

[John G.]

Came home and it was still empty.

[John G.]

Amazing how that happens.

[John G.]

I will start on Moonflower Murders.

[John G.]

And I must clean some corner of the house.

[John G.]

But first ...

[John G.]

Let's move on ...
