IT'S A MAZING!

No, that is not a misspelling, there is a maze I am trying to get through. Medicare and me, the ultimate battle of understanding the maze and my malaise.

Just the thought of having to sit down and decide what plan will help me best keep me alive until my funeral is daunting. Dental care, medical and prescription drugs all have to play out. There are several plans offered by such as; US Health, Emblem, Humana, Empire and so on. The idea that you will be able to retain your HCP is problematic, as is the medications to subscribe to. To add to the twist of the wind is how much you make and where you live.

Of course, it all comes down to out-of-pocket costs and that means how much you pay for each doctor and specialist visit such as a surgeon.

Fortunately, I have a good month at least before I make a decision and will take the time to do so. Each step I take I need to fully understand first, then move on to the next step.

The older I get, the more complicated life becomes, living in retirement makes you realize that your parade is not the one you started parching in, but somehow, somewhere you got in a new lineup of marches, the beat a little more complex.

I can, of course, take comfort in the fact that I have a great partner and she is quick to help me and she does so. So, before I kick the bucket, I want to have all my ducks in a row, so that when they do plant me, the burden does not exist of paying for anything, and having it on TLW's (The Little Woman's) shoulders.
