Terry Says

I’m assuming you will be eligible for traditional Medicare at age 65. I suggest you make a call to eHealthMedicare at 833-862-0655 in the coming weeks to learn about how to sign up for original Medicare and get a supplement (preferably Plan G) and a Part D drug plan.

You don’t have to do that until you’re eligible at age 65, but you don’t want to have a gap in coverage. That’s why you might want to start planning now.
