14. We have Mutual of Omaha

And Medicare. We are both 74 and I can vouch for Mutual of Omaha. It’s not cheap but it pays what Medicare doesn’t. We go to the doctor go in and come out without a copay. So far so good. All of it goes up every birthday though. I guess if republicans get their wish and cut our Social security benefits and Medicare we will be up the creek with no paddle.
