Sue hit some spike strips on her trip to Medicare coverage, and the gals want to dispel some common misconceptions and assumptions. Most importantly, know your own specific situation. For teachers, especially single teachers, the consequences can be high. Know how marriage status can deeply effect your Medicare qualifications. Medicare is not universal, so be aware.To be clear, Sue is sharing what she experienced and learned through her own Medicare saga. She is not an expert, and strongly recommends consulting experts.

"Re-tired" is the podcast where your hosts, Sue &amp; Tina talk about what life is like when we put on new tread for new adventures. We'll explore what it means to re-tire. Like any good road trip, we'll have great company and a load of fun. "Re-tired" will host meaningful conversations with feminists about shifts in life. That could mean discussions about new job or careers, new identities, new starts, and more. In sharing, our hope, our drive, is to not only listen and hear, but to understand and empower ourselves and each other.
