It is all very confusing. Especially for someone who is just turning 65, all these letters.

A and B. D for drug and yeah I think I have F. What is surprising is that you paid into Medicare your entire working life yet it still is what $300 a month per person. I see the ads for the Advantage plans, they are cheaper, and cover dental and eyeglasses, but so far I have resisted the temptation.

Near as I can tell I don't think anyone has asked me for money for anything since then. It does seem to pay for it all. No problems with anyone accepting it.

Except drugs.

Pretty much everything we take is now generic, but even with that, Part D from Blue Cross Blue Shield seems to not cover any of it. But my CVS pharmacist works magic and figures out how to work around with these other cards he gets from who knows where, and now my out of pocket for drugs is very small. That wasn't always the case. When a medication is non generic and is $300 for 30 tiny pills and your not really sure it really does anything, its easy to say, bad word that and not take it.

That still does not mean there are still not problems with drugs. "your more than three days early, I'm not allowed to fill this yet", and then going out of town for a while "we don't have those pills in stock, but I cannot transfer the prescription to the pharmacy across the street who has them because it is across a state line (Kansas City Mo.)" ,"your doctor will not allow refills, until you visit him", but he has no appointments for a week and a half, I really should not be off my blood pressure medicine that long.
