It’s started already - had someone come to my door yesterday wanting to talk about Medicare plans. I understand you get bombarded the minute you turn 64. Decided to just take Part A for the first (almost) 2 years and stay on husbands work plan until he retires when I’m 66. It’s a great BC Personal Choice plan with no deductibles and minor co-pays if you stay in network. Of course this could all go out the window if his employer changes their plan.
