to a hundred days. some home health care and hospice care. part b is your doctor's visit, outpatient services, lab work and some preventive care. part c, this is kind of weird because it is not part of the medicare it is an alternative to medicare it is private insurance, they give you different choices. and then part d that covers prescription drugs. the cost for all this vice based on your income. if you want coverage to get your out of pocket expenses under wraps you can purchase medicare supplemental insurance, that is sold by private companies. this is important. medicare does not cover long term care. you heard me talk about a stay up to a hundred days but if you have a chronic illness and you will be in a nursing home for months and months and months medicare doesn't cover it. it doesn't cover routine hearing, vision, foot or dental care. if you are trying to get services outside u.s. will not be cover.

to learn more about medicare and it is confusing, believe me, i get it, when the program is due to run out of money? faster then would you believe. prescription to i have is a it. go to jill on money.com. >> jill, i know you just keep it real. it is confusing, crazy if only we had you in our back pocket every time we had a question. >> thank you. we appreciate it. >> take care. >> 6:39. technology you may be wearing right now could help dairy farmers monitor their cattle. a company introduced sort of the fit bit for cows. now it helps farmers keep tabs on the health of their live stock. sensors connect to ear tags actually pinpoint sick cows for treatment before their symptoms get too far advanced. amazing what technology can do, for sure. rumors have within flying about ben affleck having an affair with his children's nanny. now the word is he is taking legal action. that is coming up next. one of the survivors of the deadly movie theater
