Medicare A & B do not cover prescription drugs so a separate drug plan also needs to be purchased.
Term life is usually the least expensive type of life insurance to purchase but it only is in force for the “term” elected (such as 10, 15, 20 or 30 years). Whole Life/Universal Life is more expensive but will not expire as long as the premium is being paid
