I am getting so frustrated with my mother’s Medicare coverage. She has been diagnosed with diabetes and I am doing my best to try and help her purchase the supplies she needs without paying so much that she has to live on cat food. What is so frustrating for me is all of the phone calls I have been making and not getting satisfactory answers. First of all, I need a human to help me, not a machine!

I know that she is going to need some Medicare supplement to help cover the costs and I am trying to find out all of her options and the best way to go about securing the supplement.

When I finally got a human on the line, I was glad to find out that, because of her age, she was eligible for some free diabetic supplies. I know it still won’t cover everything, but it will definitely help and it was such a nice change to talk to a person, instead of pressing phone buttons to get to the next menu. Sometimes I wish I had a rotary phone and could just stay on the line!
