The Medicare open enrollment period didn't end until yesterday (Wednesday). If you don't switch plans by the end of it, you should stay in the same plan you were in the year before like I did… so until the end of the enrollment period (yesterday) it looked like I had no coverage for 2017… Since you weren't switching plans you were probably just in the same boat as me.

I think you will be okay, Bobby. Since open enrollment has ended, you can call the drug plan again if you want to be 100% sure you are enrolled for 2017.

I didn't get a letter from social security saying how much I will make next year yet. Are they increasing benefits? Probably not…
