11. I was leaning toward regular Medicare when I first started researching

after my 65th birthday. After realizing what that "administrator" did to me, I immediately called SSA and informed them what had just happened, but they said there wasn't anything they could do for me to get me out of it once I was he'd signed me up. Then she explained the Supplemental and the pricing on that, if I'd switched back to Medicare, was too much for us. I can't remember what it was exactly, but with the penalty for switching back, I remember thinking these are like COBRA prices!

We'll be okay... and I've given hubs a long, long talk about things that have to change where his health risks are concerned. I hope he listened to me (gryn). But enough of the eternal leaf-raking, especially now that the weather is turning colder. I can't even bear the thought of life without him... I'll kill him if he pushes his body again!
