Hello JackieJ_NKF, I am not sure what your question is. I know that medicare is covering in a better way the antirejection medications and that is recent news which should help so many people with medical insurance problems or they lose their insurance. Write again please with a question and I'll see if I can help or not. I wish you a great day.

Thanks for explaining this to me. I appreciate it. My spouse is off Medicare due to not being age 65 and we have other insurances to use. While he had to use Medicare at age 59, it was a huge pain, huge! He was on it over 36 months and then they dropped it FEb 2022 and we were happy. It was a nightmare for us having other insurances and things were always a mess to deal with . I hope the changes help many people who need Medicare though. That's all that matters to help people.
