Oct 2020

Got my medicare number, so all set for parts A and B

Got my pharma plan (part D), low monthly, and my three medicines are inexpensive/generics

For the supplement, went with the G option, Blue Cross Blue Shield - lowest cost.

All I need to do is wait for Jan 1 - that's when my company tosses me off (I had good retiree coverage from age 52 to 64) - my wife will stay on for a year. Then I get to pay the multiple monthly bills, but it will finally be all sorted!
