Hi. I just joined. I will be 65 in july and I have no clue on where to begin to apply for Medicare. There is so much info about it and it appears to be so overwhelming and I do not know where to start. In 2 weeks (April 1st) I will be able to apply. Where do I begin?  Please help!

I get out at least once a day. I grocery shop and I attend 2 meetings...
