My name is Josuee and I work with RetireGuide – a free web resource dedicated to providing useful information to help older adults fulfill their retirement goals.
We recently published what we believe to be the most easy-to-understand guide on the ins and outs of medicare. This free resource highlights coverage, costs, eligibility and enrollment information, along with answers to some frequently asked questions. I am also sharing a link to our senior benefits and discounts guide, please take a look:
