A few weeks ago, I received the thick Medicare & You government handbook that is mailed to every Medicare household each fall before open enrollment (Oct. 15–Dec. 7).
Seeing it immediately made me feel anxious and overwhelmed.
The handbook is a comprehensive guide to Medicare and covers many topics like the basics of coverage, changes for the upcoming year, plan comparison tools, and prescription drug coverage. And while it is meant to be the go-to reference for beneficiaries, many people find it overwhelming because of the amount of detail.
