Good luck to everyone with health insurance before age 65.
I’m not Medicare age yet, and didn’t find it too difficult to secure medical insurance here. I’m with Florida Blue and am established through Villages Health. When I turn 65, I will more than likely have to leave Villages Health, as I’m not going on Medicare Advantage, which is a requirement for those over 65 at Villages Health.
