Agreed. That it is, sir.

Just started getting mine in Feb. Medicare has kicked in. Have my supplemental and Part D in place and humming. It's nice to go to the doctor and not have to give them ANYTHING. smile

Not counting Medicare deduction from Social Security and cost of supplemental policy, of course.

Life is good! Good luck to anyone else coming up on this milestone.

dont feel too good. that supplemental premium will increase every year as you get older. My wife is paying double now from when she first signed up. the joke is you get a little cola benefit increase in social security, offset by a much higher premium on the insurance when means you net less.
