Hi fellow Seniors! I need suggestions. [View all]

Stupidly I never signed up for Medicare Part D. I have been told recently that the price of part D is very reasonable . Today I called the provider of the supplement part B and was told that I messed the deadline by 3 months.
OK, my goof.
As I age, I worry about those funny things that happen that never did before. I am now uncomfortable without part D.
Do any of you deal with a reputable Canadian pharmacy where you buy your prescriptions? I am now worried about no drug coverage and cannot sign up for part D of Medicare until next fall.

At my ripe old age, the mistake was mine and quite stupid. I live on SS alone so I guess my simple mind ignored any notice I may have received from my provider.

I would like to find a prescription provider whose prices are more reasonable than those here in the US, just in case.

If you have a recommendation, please PM me with the name of the company so I may look into it.

I admit my decision not to buy part D was financial but SS only goes so far.

If SS is cut or Medicare is cut, I am on the streets.
