hubby getting ready to join #Medicare .. my god it's confusing. Any tips? #NewYork

@moosebegab You could try contacting your state's health insurance assistance program.

For example, here in Oregon the group is called SHIBA. Here's their website:

SHIBA volunteers were helpful when I first got on Medicare 20+ years ago (I qualified due to disability, not age)

I'm pretty sure each state has one of these groups but I'm not sure how good they are in different states.

Trained counselors with the SHIBA program educate and advocate for Oregonians with Medicare. Contact us for local Medicare help.

Agreed! There are local volunteers who help too. Senior centers should know so ask!
