I hear complaints every where I go about Medicare choices that are on the table theses days. It's not you! Everyone---not just survivors----are frustrated.

Amy,

I got my medicare card yesterday. The welcome to Medicare booklet stated what to do sorta clearly to me. Then I will get another book soon from medicare. My start date is 1 July, birthday 22 July.

I have Tricare Prime which changes to Tricare for Life. That stops my co-pays. I get my prescriptions filled on the Military Base, so I don't need a drug program, plus I have the V.A. for meds too.

All I will need is Part A & B. Part B(hospitalization) will cost me currently around 78.20 a month. For me, it's a must have with my stroke and therapy needs in the future and God knows what else down the road.

If I don't select Part B, I'd have bills galore with just Tricare for Life.

Continue to read and ask questions from Medicare until you get the answers you need in your case. Good Luck Amy.

Thanks all,

I feel better this a.m having slept a good 10 hours, and 2 cups of coffee. Bring on my day:)
