Also, is Medicare something that you automatically become enrolled in when you turn 65 or do you have to apply for it. Sorry for the many questions. Thanks.
You should apply when you are 64. You usually get a form in the mail. But if you don't, call your local Social Security office or go to http://www.ssa.gov/online/

I have heard that Secure Horizons is also good. They are nationwide and have offices in Florida.

You should shop around. Get the plan that works best for your needs. More expensive does not necessarily mean more/better coverage.
