MIKE CHANEY – Don’t ignore the calendar or Medicare

Don’t ignore the calendar or Medicare

Although we don’t like to admit it, all of us are getting older. And our state’s population is getting older every year. In fact, in January, experts say the first wave of “baby boomers” will begin turning 65.

Although we all might like to ignore the turning of the calendar, we can’t. And one of the most important things we can’t afford to ignore is Medicare.

While we might not want to think about it, it’s vitally important that our aging citizens understand Medicare and when and what to do about it.
