and have a supplement insurance plus Part D which is for meds,,,, this is why talking with an independent medicare insurance advisor is important, they have access to all kinds of information that can help you decide which is best for you. And you should talk to them every year because things can change in the industries and with your health.

I love my Medicare,,,,
