At least one a day to my cell. Received one about an hour ago,this one was a live person, put it on speaker and sat my phone next to the car’s radio speaker. Hope he or she enjoyed traffic and weather coverage on WWJ-AM radio.

They call every day for the past two weeks. They use my area code and each time is another town in my area. They have a very heavy Indian (India)accent, that it is hard to understand them. I answered a few times but no more.

And the loooooong 3-4 minute commercials!

Make…it…stop!

Ack!

But you have to get all the benefits you deserve ...

My life has been so peaceful since I blocked and silenced any and all calls/texts from anyone other than a "contact".

I turn 65 next September. I'm going to have to decipher Medicare.
Haven't started yet. Ugh.

Don’t wait until the last minute to get started. There’s a fair amount of complexity involved in the decision making!

There have been a fair number of threads here as well on this topic with several pros/cons. I should have saved links, I'm a few years behind you but also don't want to be doing at last minute.

My lean is traditional Medicare since I can afford it, but I realize I need to better understand exactly all the options even there.

^^^^^^^^^^^Yep. The local hospital and ALL the docs associated with it stopped taking Medicare Advantage. You are SOL if you are an Advantage patient. They posted a sign at the hospital entrance and at the docs offices.

And Joe Namath has great pair of hearing aids he will sell ya!

I don't know why but this year, starting a few weeks ago, I started getting from 2-15 calls a day from these slime balls.
When I have the time and if I'm particularly annoyed, I will go through the computer voice screening to get to a live person.
After that, the game is to keep them talking as long as possible to waste their time.

I'd get almost no physical mail if not for those.
