As baby boomers retire in record numbers -- 10,000 Americans a day -- more seniors than ever will be asking themselves, "How do I choose a Medicare health plan that's right for me?"

"Seniors should look for a high-quality health plan that has a team of doctors and specialists, who work together to coordinate your care and keep you healthy," said Patrick Courneya, M.D., medical director, Kaiser Permanente Medicare Health Plans.

The doctor is in. But are you prepared to make the most of your appointment?

One of the most important steps you can take to invest in your long-term health is to develop a strong relationship with your primary-care physician. Yet you might not realize that there are actions you can take to be a better patient that will, in turn, help you get the most out of that doctor-and-patient relationship.

Medicare is never an easy answer when it comes to the dealings between the federal government and those who oppose it. Some find that it is less than acceptable while others claim that it is vital in today's economic times. Being prepared, whether you know that you need it or not is vital to know the best reasons for Medicare along with the reasons why people are not happy about Medicare and would like to see it eliminated.
