Great Shares from Joe Greenberg!

Dear Rose:

Sorry not to have been in touch, but I/we have been so busy with our daughter's wedding a couple of weeks ago. The wedding was amazing and we couldn't be happier with every aspect of it. The Artists for Humanity venue in South Boston was truly wonderful and a perfect place for a wedding. The weather was absolutely perfect, the food was beyond compare and most importantly, the wedding ceremony was beautiful, touching and memorable. Everyone danced all night, had a drink here or there (boy, what an understatement) and told us they had the most wonderful time.

One of my very best friends, Rich Bonaventura and his lovely wife Debbie, attended the wedding and it was wonderful to see him again. This made the experience even better for me.

I had been hard at work making my "travel schedule" for my job and I am now "in the middle" of that travel as I recruit students for my university. I also expect that I will travel to Korea and Israel this year; Korea for business and Israel to attend the "second" wedding for my daughter and her husband. Abbey and her husband Oded will move to Israel on October 20 (Oded is Israeli) and Abbey will become a "dual citizen" and in order to do so, needs to be married in Israel as well. So, this should be exciting and fun.

Ok, enough for now. I hope all of your "readership" are doing well and would love to hear from my old friends and classmates.

Be well, Joe Greenberg

Sharing - Medicare, Decisions, Decisions!

WooHoo! I never thought I'd be excited to receive my Medicare Card in the mail but I surely am, as I have been denied coverage for the past 7 years due to an existing condition and paying out of pocket has caused me some financial distress. Lesson learned...always check what a medical office is coding your condition to an insurance company because it determines whether other insurance companies will accept you or not in the future......of course, this does not apply to Medicare but it was my problem for a very long time, so I welcome Medicare with open arms...not that I wish to be older!

Well, since we all are about the same age, most of us have already gone through the process in the decision making and so many questions that need answers has put us all in a position to research from several perspective companies regarding supplements and/or ask friends who have already gone through the process for some advice. Word of mouth is always the best!

Well, after I have absorbed an enormous amount of information....now the individual decisions are necessary to examine my personal needs and preferences. So much information.....too many options.....so confusing!

HMO or PPO, selecting Primary Care Doctor, Part A, Part B, Part D...yikes!

But, the best part is I will have health insurance again!

How are you all doing going through this process? Any advice? Any problems? what companies do you think is more beneficial than others? I know each county is different in all states. We should all be treated the same regarding Medicare but I guess we are not.

So far, in the State of Florida, Humana Gold Plus is the number one supplement provider that my friends here like the best and I'm leaning towards this option. I'm checking AARP and BlueCross as well.

Wow, can you believe we are all 65 years old or will be soon? Where did all the years go? Oh, take me back to the days of Revere High!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL
