ixty-five is an age we can look forward to, not that we necessarily want to get older, but because it makes us eligible for Medicare, a government-sponsored healthcare program. This can alleviate concerns about healthcare costs and provide access to necessary medical services.

In preparation of applying for Medicare, here are some things you can do:

• Learn about a) the different parts of Medicare, b) what supplemental insurance covers and c) the enrollment periods for Medicare.

• And assess your a) prescription drug needs, b) healthcare costs, c) potential long-term care needs and d) if you have a Health Savings Account, consider how it fits into your retirement plan.

This will assist you when you research and compare plans to find one that suits your needs and your budget. Remember that healthcare needs and regulations may change, so staying informed and periodically reviewing your plan is crucial for your healthcare strategy.
