8. The cost to go to Medicare, proper, is more than we can handle,

especially when you consider the penalty we would pay in finding a Supplemental plan. I got tricked into this crap by an unethical "Administrator" who came "just to show me what these were like and how they contrasted with Medicare." Somehow, even after saying I'm not making a decision right now a signature to allow him to show me the plans ended up being the signature to be ON the plans.

I absolutely will admit to being pressed and stressed when I turned 65 and trying to figure out all this stuff on my own. I was also caretaking my elderly mother at the same time. It's a time frame I'd never want to relive.
