Hi, Doris, this is Oby. Yes, Medicare is WONDERFUL since it covers 80% of the costs, but please, please, check into getting a 'medi-gap' policy that will cover the remaining 20%. I mean, with my medical bills, etc. amounting to approximately $39,000 per month there is NO WAY that I could cover 20% of that cost!!! I don't know where you live...I live in IL...and I found a company called Country Life which was about $30 less per month (for more coverage) than Blue Cross. I do know that Country Life covers several other states.
I send you my love, Oby
