Agents are putting all sorts of scares into people over PUP 'cause they can't write the policy 'cause there is no commission for them. So they are trying to convince people it's a bad idea. Shame on them - it is perfect for some - not all. Do your homework and if that plan meets your needs take advantage of the $90 rebate 'cause it may be the last year for that. You have to call PUP and enroll over the phone. If for some bizarre reason they were no longer in business in 2014 you would be allowed to enroll in another Medicare plan through a special enrollment period.
