there are volunteers here who helped us navigate it 2 years ago when we turned 65. I had a million questions and they never lost patience with me! And were highly knowledgeable.

We made the choice you are contemplating: Medicare and a gap policy. State Farm was least expensive, and, if memory.serves, all gap policies must have same coverage; so may as well go for cheapest! We already are insured with them so it worked out well.
