Dear Editor,

The last thing you want when you need to talk to your doctor is to be waiting on hold for hours. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve developed a few new medical needs, and some of them require frequent communication with my doctor.

I’m so grateful to be enrolled in Medicare Advantage because it ensures I can call up my doctor and receive a quick and helpful response. I feel so supported by my health care coverage, and I can rest easy knowing my health care needs are well taken care of because of Medicare Advantage. Beyond the communication with my doctor, my coverage allows me to get my prescriptions delivered to my home whenever I need them. As an older person, sometimes I can’t be as mobile as I’d like, or if I’m feeling ill, I may not want to venture out to the pharmacy. Because of Medicare Advantage, I don’t have to worry, and I am taken care of from the comfort of my home.

Medicare Advantage has made a huge difference in my life. I know that for any health complications that arise down the line, Medicare Advantage has got my back. I understand why 30 million seniors across the country have chosen to enroll in this incredible program.

Sincerely,

Deborah White
