To the Editor,

Under the new Health Care Law, every person on Medicare (over 65), gets a free yearly, “Medicare Wellness Exam.” It’s thorough, it’s free and you can, and should, have it done every year. It will keep you healthy!

When you call your doctor for an appointment, make sure you say it’s for the Medicare Wellness Exam, so they can allot a little extra time for the tests, etc.

Please tell your parents and loved ones to take advantage of this new program and get their free yearly exam, I did and I think it’s wonderful.

Remember, “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” Call your doctor today!
