RA'd in my 50's and Too Young For Medicare

namremf

Sound familiar?

Paid around $1200-$1400 a month for awhile, then I dropped the pricey prescription plan for several years before going on Medicare. All that really ate up big part of pension, in past few years. IBM's self-funded plans still had "Business" as their middle name.

Then, on Medicare, and Aetna Integration Plan A, those costs went way down right away and I got house paid for!

Dropping the IBM prescription plan and shopping online for meds overseas (since that is where they are all manufactured!) really saved me lots of money, like $7K a year for several years. No sweat for a 3-yr. Corvette lease, with those savings!

For a $$surprise$$, enter your favorite med and dosage over at:?? http://www.planetdrugsdirect.com/
(a place I learned about here on Yahoo).
For more med sources, see:? http://www.fatwallet.com/forums/hot-deals/1261476/

I also saved money buying meds at Sam's Club & Costco before discovering online sources were about a third less than those two big box stores.

My wife's eye meds all come from the Allergan factory in Germany, via signature confirmation mail.

For me, AARP stuff was all too pricey.

BTW, moved IBM 401-K money over to Vanguard right away and made out very well, based on a tip in another Yahoo Group:? http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=vghax&ql=1

Even with both of us on a low-priced Part D Humana plan, we still by all meds online for even less out of pocket, in our particular situation. YMMV.

Let's share ideas on how our past experiences can help those RA'd in their 50's and too young for medicare!

Libs, neo-cons all have the same needs!
