Need advice on Medicare drug plans.

I recently got on Medicare. I switched my Blue Shield individual plan to Medicare supplement for doctors and hospital. However, their Medicare drug plan was rather expensive and the Blue Shield lady suggested I go to Medicare.gov to investigate other options.
I am only on a statin and a blood pressure medication, paying about $20.00/month for the meds.
Wellcare seems cheapest, but has bad reviews.

Anyone have any recommendations?

P.S. on the topic of the day, I wish Zelensky had punched Trump and JD in the balls. He probably decided that if he tried, he would have to go to Moscow to find them, so he just left.

Can someone tell me who is the current US ambassador to the UN ?

I know Elise Stephanik is being kept in the House so Tiny Mikey can perpetrate his vile budget bill. But I don’t know (and the Google is offering no help) whose butt is occupying the chair representing my country and voting with Russia.

For all you Joy Reid fans out there...

Tune in now! She is rocking that purple sweatshirt and talking about resistance! The topic is the Musk email, but I think there’s a subtext.

Edit: And she did that lovely group hug with her fellow MSNBC hosts. Then ended by thanking staff and fans. Classy response to a classless dismissal.

A thought about Felon45's deal making.

He’s making a deal in Gaza that doesn’t include the Palestinian people.

He’s making a deal in Ukraine that doesn’t include the Ukrainian people.

He’s made a deal in the USA that doesn’t include the American people.

And oh, is that beachfront property over there? Let’s deal.

The brilliant Andy Borowitz

Today’s offering is “Trump says Musk has found huge fraud in Oval Office” accompanied by a picture of Fatass staring at Musk as he’s pontificating.

Someone else can post this-I have problems with pictures, and you really have to see the picture.

What I wanted to post is from the comments section. Someone made the comparison to Hitler.

Andy replied: Not exactly the same. Hitler waited for his aides to finish high school.

I want to thank all who gave me hearts 💕

The news, personal and political has been so bad lately that the only things that made me smile were rewatching Monty Python and that commercial which has “Heat Wave” as background music.
Your gift of hearts made me smile.
