I'm Finally 65 Yay Medicare

Every time a person turns 65 an angel gets it's wings... or an agent get it's wings or uhm no not wings, commission that's the one.

If you are turning 65 this year you probably have already been spammed by all kinds of insurance companies, agencies, brokers trying to get your business. At this point you just want to say to hell with the entire medicare thing because it's annoying. I don't blame you!

I meet with seniors everyday and I see the amount of spam mail they receive from multiple companies especially during Open enrollment. It's overwhelming trying to pick from the stack of envelopes and mailers which plan you should go with.

Luckily there are a few reliable sources for not getting ripped off by someone who's just trying to earn a buck and has your best interest in mind!
