You can start by understanding that anything you hear from friends, etc
may not apply to you. MC is not by any means a "one size fits all" deal.

First d/l and read thru a copy of "Medicare and You" at
https://www.medicare.gov/forms-help-...ferent-formats
or https://tinyurl.com/yxl8xej7

Next read thru Medicare's website at https://www.medicare.gov/
to expand on what you learned in the "MC & You" handbook. Take it slow
and read it carefully.

Then when you have questions, go to this Health Insurance forum
http://www.city-data.com/forum/health-insurance/
and either search for your question, and/or post an inquiry.

Several very knowledgeable people hang out there and are good at answering.

If all that fails, every State has a free group called SHIPS that are
there to help people understand Medicare. Go here to find yours:

Good Luck, just take your time to understand what choices are best for you.
