I will be 65 this August (God willing!) and am wondering about all this talk of Medicare- Presently I am covered with California state medi-cal program - For those with limited income. (social security is my only source) I do not pay for insurance, I haven't the income for it! SO with that being said what could be the best Medicare option for those who are basically poverty level and have COPD?? This is already confusing me, for I don't have extra funds to pay for any "special options"!! I just need continued care!
