I'm turning 65 next month and the amount of Medicare mail I'm getting is overwhelming. How do I sort through all this?

Throw all of it in a bag for recycling! Work with a Professional who's been helping folks for decades with Medicare Planning! Work with someone who can offer BOTH Medicare Supplement/Medigap AND Medicare Advantage and make sense of the "Medicare Alphabet Soup" for you! WE do that! WE make is simple and understandable! You got this!
Ignore all the Medicare mailings you are receiving. Find yourself a knowledgeable Medicare broker who can help you find the best health plan that suits your needs.

The best way to "sort through all this" is to find an Independent Insurance Agent that you can trust to guide you. An Independent Insurance Agent is contracted with different carriers and can shop plans for you instead of being beholden to one company like "captive" agents. You will also be able to contact your trusted Agent after the sale for help with questions and issues, shoud they arise.
I'm sorry that you're having to go through that but unfortunately since you are turning 65 a lot of the insurance companies are responsible for this type of marketing along with maybe some smaller brokerage firms. I would recommend contacting your local health insurance broker which you can find easily on Medicare agents hub and that would probably be the best solution when you're coming into Medicare for the very first time.
