A buddy of mine was talking about hitting 64 and he started getting more and more mass mailings and calls from the insurance/financial world for the 'correct' supplement to buy and the 'right time' to start SS and pension options they'd want to 'manage'. I told him that by the time he's at the Medicare sign up time, the mailings/calls will be daily-such fun.

Companies just prostituting themselves for business, sales looking for their monthly quota.
my dad is 71 in three days. I get mail asking about medicare options all the time. I'm only 38. There must be alot of medicare business to take from the government coffers. I get alot of hearing aid solicitation with my "medicare". I also get cemetery plots using my "VA benefit" My dad is a Navy veteran. I get free paid dinners in the mail to attend a "social security maximizing for your retirement, find out what social security doesn't want you to know!, and how to double your social security checks" The scammers really know how to target the elderly population with their scams! It's good to know what I pay into social security is potentially given to these scammers.

If you have any Vanguard invetsments, they have free webinars on this topic and the information would be usable and accurate.
Medicare part "F" is all you need to know. You will never pay anything..no Co-Pay, no deductible. If it is a valid Medicare Cost, Part F picks up the rest. In 5 years I have not had one bill to pay out of pocket.
