Consider being on a fixed income. You have medicare so you have no problems concerning medical care. Or do you?

Part A deductible $992

I think that Part B costs $88 a month perhaps more.

Part B deductible $131

I do not know the details about part D but it is a difficult thing to understand at best.

Is Medicare that great a deal? How does that average person on a fixed income pay for medical expenses? Just do not get sick!

In 99 days,15 hours and 45 minutes I will be 65 so this topic is of interest to me. :)
