· A Medicare drug plan
will be less expensive for most people than buying drugs from
Canada.
· Even if you are taking
few or no prescriptions today, it probably makes sense to pay

of 1% per month in additional premium cost if you wait until
you actually need it before purchasing
· Which of the several
dozen plans offered in each state to choose should only be
decided after comparing the various plans using your actual
prescriptions and dosages. Use the Medicare
website to Find a Medicare Prescription
Drug Plan.
· Finally, even after
deciding which plan looks best, before enrolling, play it safe
by contacting the plan to confirm the coverage and costs of
your specific prescriptions.
