I am 66. I went through all of my initial Medicare choices a little over one year ago.

I think this video is very good and thorough. I understood all of the points contained in the video.

I am super analytical (and have time because I am retired) so I watch these types of educational videos from a number of sources.

What would be very helpful would be two things, whether you’d call them a roadmap or outline flowchart … the first would be the alphabet A, B, D; C vs G/N + fork in the road …. And the second would be your educational flowchart - if this is 101, what are the other educational videos and how do they situate themselves in your educational Medicare roadmap.

I think it would help many 64 year olds see the big picture of choices better; my fear for many 64 year olds is that the initial Medicare choices aren’t made “correctly” for them.

You guys (Joanne and the other Hat Lady 😀) are so good at what you do … but there are many bad actors in Medicare enrollments each year that prey upon the elderly masses.

Bravo 🎉 Great video. I assume this is your son Joanne?

All the best.
