My Medicare through Aetna pays for both. The Advantage plan.

Not mine.

Sweetest thing ever. My heart just swelled 10xs larger! Yes, I see a lot of dogs that look like her too.

They do here if you pick a plan that covers dental. Even this stupid pathways will. IDK about your area though.

They have some dental plan if you want to pay extra but you can only go to one place and they are not good.

Already pay 170 a month for Medicare ,then the advantage plan I am on cost an additional 38 dollars month. Doesn’t make sense. Then we get taxed on social security income. They really screw the retired middle class.

I have only been to one movie in the past 8 years..maybe more. So no chance of trying.

I've lived here since 07 and went once. Robert was going. He hasn't been in a while

sounds terrible. Better to be poor maybe. The state pays Toms and Roberts Medicare premiums.

I don't pay anything for my advantage plan. Not all states are taxed on SS..but of course our state is.
California isn't.

Lucky us out of 9...

You might also owe state taxes on the benefits depending on where you live. For the 2024 tax year, nine states tax Social Security benefits: Colorado, Connecticut, Minnesota, Montana, New Mexico, Rhode Island, Utah, Vermont and West Virginia. All other states and the District of Columbia do not tax the payments.Nov 1, 2024

I don't pay taxes on my social security income. Must be a California thing.

I don't pay for my cleaning, x-rays, and I get $2,000 for other things needed at..my..favorite dentist. Love him. I had just gotten a tooth pulled and a replacement just before I got on Aetna..paid 1,600 dollars..darn. Aetna would have paid for it, done by this guy. I made sure I would have my same drs as I looked at different plans. Found Aetna. Loving them so far. Only one I can't decide on who to go to is a hearing specialist.
I get to keep my PC, Neurologist, Dentist, ENT, Orthopedic. Hospital.
