Coming out of the pandemic, healthy habits and prioritizing care are front of mind for the retired population more than ever before.
I am thankful that my Medicare Advantage plan gives me the care I need to properly address my health issues and prevent further problems. Since I am blind in one eye, it is very important I have quality vision insurance. My plan gives me great coverage for my eye treatments, prescription medications, and screenings all at a minimal cost. Not only does my Medicare Advantage plan give me the vision coverage I need, but they integrate hearing and dental coverage into it as well. That way, I get all the preventative measures I need to ensure I am not unaware of any surprise ailments.
On top of all that, for my busy weeks running the VIP Club at the senior center, I have utilized the prescription coverage through my Medicare Advantage plan. It’s convenient and easy – and so beneficial to those who cannot drive!
I hope California’s lawmakers continue to support this program in 2023, so that seniors like me can keep their health care that is quality and affordable.
