Straight from Seniors: The Benefits and Importance of Medicare

As a retired person, Medicare is critically important to my life and well-being. I love the ease of access and the confidence it gives me as I go for health checkups and services.”

“When I switched from private insurance through my employer to Medicare, I wanted to make sure I had the same coverage. My Medicare coverage is even better than my old insurance. A few years ago, I was diagnosed with cancer and had to have major surgery. Medicare covered my hospitalization, post-operative care, and most importantly all of the medications that I needed. Thanks to my Medicare coverage, I was able to obtain the treatments that made me healthy again and cancer-free.”
– Carol K., New York

“Here’s what I appreciate about Medicare. The program works just like we were told it was going to. I fulfilled my obligation and paid into the system from the time I started working. And when I enrolled, the program fulfilled its obligations and is providing me with affordable healthcare coverage just like I expected it to.”
