Congrats! Mine started in April. I literally teared up when I heard the cost. Such a relief! Happy birthday!

Just remember there are senior discounts in resturants, travel, & certain days at Ross or some clothing stores also parks too. AARP is around $8 a year & we have used the card for discounts well worth it for us. Also hotels you show your card get 10% off which isn't much but every little discount helps.

@Meowingkitty

I don’t understand your comment about your husband not using it because he is still working. Is it only for people who have retired? Or do you mean he prefers to keep using insurance he has through work?

He signed up for it because he is 65 and had to but he is still working and we use the company’s insurance, He has only signed up for part A and will sign up for Part B and a supplement when he retires and I am eligible for Medicare. I don’t want to use the exchange because it is lousy insurance for a lot of money (twice what we pay now) so that is why he keeps working.

Congratulations! I also just started Medicare last month. My total cost with the supplemental insurance is $600.00 less than my previous insurance which was through the "affordable" care act
