My wife and I have signed up with a new Medicare plan through Aetna. It seems like a good plan for us. Many of the benefits are similar to our old plan as far as dental, optical, and prescriptions etc. They encourage older folks to get outside and exercise. Fishing, camping, hiking and walking are all considered healthy outdoor activities. The best part is they reimburse up to 1200 dollars per year for fishing rods, camping gear, and athletic shoes etc. I don't really need another fishing rod, but if they're going to pay for it, why not? I can see a new rod in the coming year. I'm glad people realize that fishing is a healthy thing to do for anyone, young or old. Good for the body, and good for the mind. For this 66 year old fisherman, I think this new plan will work out very well.
