Turning age 65 does not cause the penalty clock to start running if you are employed or covered as a dependent by someone who is.
Before dipping into the MLM Mailbag, we open a couple of surprise gifts. One is an "MLM Book Review Persuader" baseball bat courtesy of the very generous Dominick Regina.
Thanks Dominick!

Many recent correspondents have expressed a change of heart, selecting Medicare supplements over the more problematic Advantage plans.
An MLM Mailbag item from a reader is an excellent example of this new realization: the solid protection of a supplement plan may just be the most prudent choice.
