Save Money with Medicare Choices
|
Looking back on my journey to enrolling in Medicare I wish I had gotten free assistance from a Medicare CHOICES Counselor. There are two counselors in Suffield that you can meet with at either the Senior Center 860-668-8830 or at Suffield Community Aid 860-668-1986. These trained, unbiased volunteers can help you find the best information for your situation. Call either agency for a free “Medicare CHOICES Counselor” appointment. I didn’t do that until later.

A Gift from the Creator
|
When the French Jesuit priests first saw the native people (in the area now Canada and upstate New York) playing a game using a stick with netting, they called it Lacrosse because it looked like the staff a Bishop carries in religious ceremonies.

Medicare Open Enrollment Starts October 15

Open enrollment is almost here! You may be satisfied with the Medicare plan you have now. But even if you are happy I recommend you look at your options. Why? Because the plans can change every year.
