October 2021 Newsletter
Friends,
Question: Did you hear about the optometrist that fell into his lens grinding machine?
Answer: He made a spectacle of himself.
Welcome to Fall. The Annual Election Period runs from October 15 to December 7. During this time, Medicare beneficiaries can make plan changes that will become effective January 1, 2022.
I will be hosting seminars on Tuesdays at 11:30 AM at the Red Lobster in Bridgeport from October 19 to November 30 if you would like to come out and see me.
Because of the Covid 19 Delta variant and the fact that last fall went well on the phone and using Doc U Sign, I am going to try to do most of our 2022 Insurance planning that way once again this fall.
Kind Regards,
Michael Antonini
