I came here in 2005. I was 64 and my wife was 58. I had gotten AARP Medicare coverage sometime before moving here. I had to get a job to get insurance for my wife. I got a job with Walmart and got their insurance. I went to my Doctor and he sent me to a Cardiologist for a stress test. The Cardiologist said I needed an ablation. I went to get the procedure. The procedure cost over $20,000.00. Walmart Insurance only covered $1000.00 and AARP Insurance covered the rest. I would suggest getting the AARP Insurance until you turn 65. I later got a job at Publix That their insurance was better than Walmart's. There are no good paying jobs here in Florida. Publix is a very good company they start you out at about $15.00 per hour and you can purchase their stock.
