UnitedHealth drops 1 million seniors, the biggest Medicare purge in two decades.

42. I'm starting on my second year of Medicare

I have a Prescription plan D but it doesn't cover my thyroid medication because it's made in Switzerland. It's the only medication that doesn't have "fillers" in the dose so it works for me for 15 years now. They refuse to cover it. In Switzerland, it cost 40 bucks for 100 pills. Here they want several hundred for a 28 day supply. I take it daily but for some reason, they think they are birth control so only distribute 28 pills at a time. It's just b.s.

I don't have an advantage plan at all so I pay the 20%. if you ask nicely, some doctors will lower their rates for that extra.

I do not have a dental plan but I pay mine with cash and get a discount. I asked the dental clerks which plan is the best and they just shook their heads. None of them are worth the paper they are written on.

I'm in CA.
