Via the VentanaView.....our neighbors to the north

a.  AT & T Wireless (the actual number for AT&T Wireless Customer Service that I call, besides 611) called me on Christmas Eve. This shady guy on the phone started out offering me a free "upgrade" and said that he needed my password/PIN number. I hung up on him, sort of shocked, and called back AT & T to scold them for their lame employee but when I called back their message advised that their call center was closed. SO REMEMBER: thieves can use your cell phone to get cash via money texting. It's an alarming scam. Be careful! TM

b.  Toxic Slugs to Dogs are out on the beaches, again. Please help to dispose or bury them. And really keep an eye on your dog while walking them. ~L @ Yo Yo's  (I don't know if we get these slugs here on EastCape but best to be aware.  )

THUMBS UP - ANSWERS - DISCUSSIONS- This category must have name and/or email address.

HEALTH INSURANCE DISCUSSION

1.  . Original Medicare parts A and B cover nothing outside the U.S. (Nothing other than some very rare exceptions. So very rare that they never/ever come into play. Never in your or anyone you knows' lifetime)
2. A number of Medicare supplement plans, in addition to Plan F, do cover foreign travel, but for only 60 days, and only "up to" a lifetime maximum of $50,000 US. Plan F is the most popular medigap/medicare supplement plan, but in many instances not the most cost effective.
3. SkyMed is something to consider, but the negative of SkyMed is that it does not cover much other than the flight back to your home country.
4. Many of the plans designed for International Coverage do cover everything, in addition to the transportation back to your home country.
To get more information about all plans available please go to WWW.MexicanInsuranceinMexico.com  or call from a US number 1-877-237-2025-5266 or from a Mexico number call 01-800-681-6530. Please fill out a questionnaire, and you will get your questions answered within 24 hours. Rudy Deutschmann  www.AmericanInsuranceinmecico.com
