Has anyone else gotten a letter in the mail with a new Medicare card?

I did!
It says my account was "compromised". I'm wondering if this is some of elon's nonsense selling our personal and private information.

I haven't, but I googled it and it sounds like they are issuing some new, more secure cards. It's awful always being so Vinca Yesterday #2

I had been wondering, even before I got this letter, how many times elon, and those hackers elon hired, were selling our personal data.

My guess: Nobody is ever going to jail for all this mess.

Just the number of times I get notifications on my cell phone is enough to make me crazy. About 4 scams a week right now. Everything from EZ pass to doctor's bills that I never was charged for.

Most people thought it was a scam. I'd hold off using the "new" card or changing anything just it case it is a scam.

was changed recently without any notification to us. A back office young woman was able to track the new one down so our Doc could get paid!
