    Changes ahead for Medicare Advantage in 2026

    I had to go from a very good Federal Plan, Kaiser, to MEDICARE! Horrible but Kaiser left Ohio after I bought a house so I could not follow. I am still missing them every day and they left about 10 years ago. I now pay more for my plan, my addition,and my drugs. My only saving grace is dental...

    Social Security checks stay safe: Here’s what a government shutdown really means for seniors

    Hope Civil Service is the same. Will know tomorrow! Did not miss it before, so it must also be paid no matter what. Anunities are insurance policies.

    Do you remember these unforgettable ’70s trends?

    Are your online shopping costs about to skyrocket? What you need to know before the August 29 law hits

    Just another way to show how powerful the dictator in charge is. He couldn't care less about how the middle class or lower class gets along. We are all just peons to him. This just means the dolls I give to Toys for Tots will be missing a lot of things I usually outfit them with like clothes...
