65 - Preparing for Medicare



Class of 77

Its hard to believe, but most of us will be turning 65 this year.

We all need to be enrolling into MEDICARE.

I have a neighbor that didn't submit her paperwork in time for her MEDICARE benefits and its causing her, major problems.

I attended a Medicare Seminar and it was very beneficial with information on how to prepare succcessfully for my future.

I suggest you attend a Medicare Seminar.
Many Medicare Providers will treat you to a free lunch/dinner, to attend their seminars.

I ordered this book on Medicare for dummies off of Amazon.

All of this, is something that we all need to need to be doing -- ASAP !!
