I got "Medicare and You 2023" delivered to me today.

[OAITW r.2.0]

Holy shit, what a comprehensive, 130 page bound document. Incredible resource for every American. Well done Democrats and Joe Biden!

1. Haven't gotten mine yet. Do we have to request it?

[MLAA]

2. No, husbands came today without requesting it.

22. They come every year.

You have the option of changing insurance details even after age 65.

As I remember it from when I turned 65 a few years ago, I could choose a different secondary insurance provider or maybe go to Advantage.

November is the month for changing that, if we want to.

[MLAA]

24. Thanks!

3. Well,..

Welcome to the old fogey club.

You'll be getting crusty, dried out and brittle before you know it. It creeps up on you quickly.

[OAITW r.2.0]

5. Been there, did that.

Pretty goddamned well lubed, at the moment.

8. Kentucky Bourbon helps....

Cheers....

14. Doing my best to support local craft brews.

Oak Pond Brewing Co., Canaan, ME - Start with Dooryard....end with Nut Brown. Ales, that is.

A buddy of mine started OP in very early Oughts' I think. Since past, but the family continues to brew. I continue to drink.

4. I got one too, a little light reading

[OAITW r.2.0]

6. Only if I need to.

Will keep it handy. just in case. But I appreciate the effort to provide accurate information.

[Walleye]

9. It is handy, I actually read part of it last year for something I can't remember

[Pinback]

7. You can download the PDF off the medicare.gov site, too.

I do that and recycle the paper copy. Saves about an inch of filing cabinet space.

[OAITW r.2.0]

11. But it makes people aware that such a comprehensive doc exists - in reality.

While I am truly, no paper, in my business....I actually appreciate a comprehensive guide to Medicare. I'll keep it handy.

[rsdsharp]

10. I got one a couple of days ago. To be fair, I got one in 2020, too.

[central scrutinizer]

12. Got mine today

Get a new one every year about this time

[ret5hd]

13. Hey brother...how are you doing?

Did your corn come in good this year? We were driving today and we’re talking of you.

[central scrutinizer]

21. Didn't plant any corn this year

Carrots were a total failure. Bumper crop of beets, peppers, leeks. Stuff is late this year because April and early May were cool and rainy. Tomatoes are finally producing enough ripe ones to freeze and can. Hope you’re doing well in NM.

15. Did anyone actually read theirs? I got through the table of cont., and scanned the stuff that

applies to N.J.

Its in the recycling bin.

[OAITW r.2.0]

16. You're smarter than the average Hotdog....but is it important for all Hotdogs?

I think - as a resource doc, that anyone can get access to, makes it important. I wouldn't assume your knowledge acquisition management skills are typical of, say, 75% of the general population. Save paper/store info. Get it...but what about people that need a physical copy to understand their rights and use them?

[3Hotdogs]

17. My rights are quite limited. I am a retired state employee. The state pays for our Medicare through

Aetna.

We take it or we pay for it ourselves, if we want something different.



So far, I'm happy with what I get. And maybe the booklet is important to other people. But to me, it does no good.

[OAITW r.2.0]

18. Hope you got good health insurance. Not sure what I have, but scips and out of pocket is maybe

$500.00/yr.....now.

[3Hotdogs]

19. Don't know. I've never been really sick.

I'm 80, next month and I've never been a patient in hospital.


My ex. says I need help but that's another matter.

[OAITW r.2.0]

20. Spent as little time as possible in Hospitals.

Did not find them conducive for living.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

23. I've been getting that every year since I got on Medicare, which is some

9 years now.
