I'll be 65 in a few weeks, already on medicare because SSDI. This pandemic has altered our reality and has for such a long time, it seems, that nothing seems to be worthy of excitement. I tend to try and enjoy what beauty nature holds for the moment.

it is absolutely great. Pretty close to 100% coverage on everything for a premium of $135-155 a month. Free prescriptions on generic drugs. Free labs.
