Nancy shares part of her retirement story and how her Aetna Medicare Advantage plan fits into her life.
Hi, my name is Nancy Baton.
I am a retired New Jersey high school principal and middle school principal. And I am truly enjoying my retirement.
I live with my husband here in Westfield, New Jersey, and I've been married to Bill. It'll be 38 years this summer.
We have two children grown children and I have five grandsons. My friends are very important to me. I have one group of friends with whom I play Majong once a week on Fridays and another group that we play a variety of card games. Just enjoying each other's company is what's so important to me.
When it came time for me to enroll in Medicare, I wanted the one with the least amount of hassles and I had been told what a great health plan Aetna has. That's why I chose Aetna, and I'm very happy I did.
When I decided to go with the Aetna Medicare Advantage plan, I chose it because of the wide range of coverage and the low copays. I found that I was not limited in my choice of doctors.
We use CVS pharmacy. It's very convenient. I even have a drive-up window. And what we like is that when our prescriptions are ready, they text us every year.
Aetna offers the opportunity for a healthy home visit. Once a year, they send a nurse right here in my home and the nurse examines me. And actually this year she found something, so she did a test on me and my doctor called me and said, you need to see a vascular surgeon and I'm under his care.
Now I never would've caught something that could be potentially very dangerous had that nurse not come to my home. I love to walk. I recently had a spinal fusion, so I've been unable to walk, but I walked between two and five miles with a friend almost every day.
I'm recuperating now from the surgery, and I had a great deal of support from Aetna because they supported what the doctor recommended. And I am now in physical therapy twice a week. And I'm really looking forward to getting rid of my back brace and just starting to walk again.
Having the support of Aetna and not having to worry about bills or paperwork, or is this covered, I didn't have any of that. All I do now is concentrate on my recovery. If you're not healthy, you're not going anywhere. So Aetna has helped me stay on track.

Margaret Rollins
Aetna Medicare Advantage member
“My name is Margaret Rollins and I’m an Aetna Medicare Advantage member.
I grew up in Los Angeles, so we were close to the beach, went to the beach a lot.
Lionel Rollins was my husband’s name. And we met in high school. We became engaged when we were 18 and married when we were 19.
Of course, he went into the service right after we were married. He worked on the B1 and he designed all the electrical, being an electrical engineer.
And it later became Boeing, but it was Rockwell at the time he worked there.
Aetna has always approved any treatment that I’ve needed, be it for my eyes or anything else.
I’m dealing with macular degeneration. And I was very fortunate that my ophthalmologist caught it early. And so now I get a shot in both eyes. But I’ve been very thankful about that and Aetna covered the whole thing.
My experience with Aetna has been very good. It’s been better than any other insurance company that I’ve been with.”

Margaret’s son
“Being healthy is important to me because it allows me to do the things I enjoy doing. It allows me to do the volunteer work that I do.
I have always sort of dabbled and I would draw on one thing or another and when my sister retired, she was gonna take a painting class and got me to do it, and that’s how I really got into the oil painting.
Aetna has called me and asked me about if I needed anything, any home care and one thing and another, which I don’t, thank goodness, and that was something no other insurance company has done. So that’s something Aetna really goes up and beyond.
I’m very happy with Aetna Medicare Advantage. It’s been very good for me.”
