I am very close with my grandmother and we were talking about Medicare and the benefits and the downsides to it. I never realized that it did not pay for most of the costs. So we got on the topic of supplemental insurance or senior governmental benefits, and how it would help.  My grandmother says it does help, but when you get older and your health declines and you have so many medications to buy it gets hard.

It’s been hard to help her figure it out since she lives in California and I live in New York, but even here I have heard people talk about supplemental insurance, since prices are so high out here.
