Since I could only tag one of the selections on the poll I put Medicare although I also have Tricare for Life as secondary. So far the coverage has been good. Six major surgeries including lumbar fusion, rotator cuff repairs, joint replacement, a few hospital stays, and the associated expenses and have yet to receive a bill.

I'm glad we planned ahead. It's not over yet!

Cheers!

Hopefully, those surgeries are not because you dumped that beautiful bike.
