6. You may want to check out the Medicare Interactive site

It's like a Wikipedia for Medicare and is very user friendly. If you are aging into Medicare, will need to make sure to enroll in a Part D plan in order to avoid a lifetime penalty of 1%/month based on the average national premium.

Also, you will need to decide how you want to receive your medical coverage, either through a supplement or Medigap plan, which supplements original Medicare Parts A & B, along with a stand alone prescription drug plan or Medicare Advantage, which is privatized Medicare offered through an insurance company.

There is also Medicare.gov, which has star ratings of all of the plans.

Good luck!
