I changed my mind about signing up for Part B.
I went to Scranton today and signed up.
Now I have to look for a supplemental plan.
It's going to cost me more each month, but the co-pays on my Blue Cross/Blue Shield are going up too much, so I hope in the end, I will break even.
I got a prescription filled last week and the co-pay had doubled.
And hubby had a bunch of tests recently and he had to pay a lot out of pocket.
I can suspend my Blue Cross, so I can always go back if I change my mind.
Scranton was like an actual city.
It was the first time I had been to a real city for quite a while.

Well, I am going on it this June. I don't have a lot of decisions to make till I am 70. Part of my agreement on selling the company is that they pay my supplements till my 70th Bday. sorta weird, but given TW's situation I made that part of the deal, it's complicated, but it works. she also has her teacher retirement bennies.
I guess, I probably should get more involved.

It's so **** complicated.
If you sign up after your Initial Enrollment Period there is a 10% penalty for every 12 months you are over your IEP.

I don't know if that would apply in your case, but you should find out.

The joke around here is that everything is 40 minutes away.
Anytime you ask someone how far away something is, they always say it's about 40 minutes away.

So when we got in the car to go to Scranton, we got directions from OnStar, and it said, "Your destination is 40 minutes away."

My husband and I cracked up.
