Thanks for tuning in! What has been the biggest frustration you’ve faced while dealing with Medicare?
Even though we have Medicare and supplemental, expensive pharmaceuticals drugs are not covered. Also, We see from experience that sometimes they dont cover a certain drug we have been taking for years. These are huge expenses for both of these situations.
