If you need advice about Medicare, hit me up. First of all - stay the hell away from Advantage Plans. They are cheaper, but they are NOT MEDICARE, which makes them FAR more unreliable, and likely to not cover something well.
Get Medicare A and B - that's essential! Then if you can afford it, look at a supplemental plan. Plan G is the best. If you can't afford that, look at something as close to what it offers as possible. United Health (Yes, the AARP program) has decent plans.
Since you have medications, look into a supplemental drug plan. Plan C with Medicare is not going to cover everything you might need. Talk with someone about it. There is a website where you can put in your medications and find companies with supplemental plans that cover your particular meds. Pick the best one you can afford.
But first and foremost - run away from "Medicare Advantage." It actually removes you from Medicare! You do not want to fall into that trap.
