Also Massachusetts and South Dakota use SHINE. And some states call is HICAP. And a few other acronyms in yet other states.

I was initially confused by the SHINE acronym and did some searching. It turns out that it in my state - and most states - it goes by SHIP. I think this is a very valuable resource. If you received a Medicare & You handbook it is referenced on page 9 (first bullet). And the number is on the back cover. Like another poster I have decided to go with original Medicare. All the mailings and advertisements I see on Medicare Advantage seem further evidence of money chasing (my) money. Mike
