One good thing Kalifornia does is have "Dept. of Aging" people do hourlong seminars at senior centers.....we attended one last year right before we hit 65.

The most important thing we learned is to obtain a Part D drug plan from the start, because if you don't you'll pay a "Penalty" later on if you do enroll in a plan - and that 'penalty' is forever, by way of monthly premium, and grows annually.

Since we're virtually drug-free, we went with a Walmart-Humana plan that doesn't cover much, but it costs each of us less than 13 bucks a month.......in the event we require pricey meds, we'll simply swap plans during the open enrollment (switch) period that comes each October.
