BTW when you are 64.5, your phone starts ringing off the hook with
insurance offers and my mailbox is stuffed. It starts to make me
wonder how much Medicare actually pays. I know my insurance from IBM
will actually get higher if I read all of the documentation right. I
haven't really got serious about this but it is pretty confusing so
far. It really looks like the benefit plan throws you under the bus at
65. I know the IBM Retiree forum is saying the WalMart drug plan is
the best, better than Part D or the IBM/Medco plan.
Have you read through the "official" Medicare Supplemental Part D stuff
yet? Take two aspirin before you start with that mess.
