Tips

I find that when I buy my OTC”s antacids, vitamins. pain relievers, etc at big box stores  the amount is so many it will expire before I can use them up. I don’t save any money if I have to throw out half a bottle of whatever I am using. Because, I am a Kaiser member, I can use there pharmacy for my OTC’s, I not only can buy in smaller amounts I get a very good price. The price is even better if I don’t buy brand name. I need to watch my budget carefully now days, anything I can do to save is a big help.

We are getting very close to the deadline of switching Medicare plans.

 

It is my understanding that there are some strict rules now that say plans and brokers cannot knock on your door or send you sales materials without your request.

It is also stated that they can not give free meals. As I write this I am looking at five mailers sent to me without me requesting them. More than one offers a free seminar at various restaurants. I decided to check this out. What they had was rolls, muffins, desserts and the like; of course one could say that was

not a meal.  One plan was no co-payments to your personal doctor, however if you want to see a specialist there would be a charge . I ask what that amount would be and I was told it would depend on what the reason would be! The plan had 0 monthly premiums.  However, there was a $200.00 a month charge for Part D.

 

I found all of the information very misleading. It seemed like the more questions I ask the less time they had for me.  So, I will stay with what I have, it works for me.

We have all heard ofthe dangers of binge drinking. I have grandkids who are subject to this and I sent them this recent article about excessive drinking. It might be worth passing on to other new 21 year olds too.
