I told my therapist yesterday that I'm just waiting. Waiting. Waiting for the s**t to hit the fan. I'm not exactly referring to covid 19, though that is a factor. It's about my husband possibly being laid off, which I've mentioned here a few times. It's a very uncomfortable feeling knowing that my world could totally change in a matter of weeks or months.

I had mentioned that my psychiatrist said he accepts Medicare. Yesterday I asked my therapist if she does, and she said yes. I was surprised, but relieved. My GP accepts Medicare. I imagine new people on Medicare have a rough time finding a really good doctor and therapist, sometimes. At least I'm "in the doors" of these three that I have. Hubby was comparing prices to see if it would be best for me to take fuller advantage of Medicare or join him on a family plan of whatever he might choose (if/when he is laid off). I am pretty sure the Medicare is the better option for me. I think hubby resists that thinking it would be more hassle have two different insurances. I really like the idea of switching to Medicare's part B, etc. What if something happened to hubby? Then I'd be left scrambling while likely in a psychiatric hospital.

My therapist said that everyone she knows on Medicare recommends adding a supplemental option. Does anyone on Medicare (or knowledgeable about this) have any feedback on this?
