i am 81 on medicare and blue shield of california. when is it time for me to find new insurance?
medicare open enrollment begins october 15 which can be confusing since it's happening during the same time as open enrollment under obamacare. but the two are not the same. i suggest you contact your state health insurance assistance programs for free unbiased help. find your local program by visiting the medicare. gov medicare helpful contacts page or by calling 1-800-medicare (1-800-633-4227).
