I wish Medicare hadn't allowed use of the word "Medicare" for the Advantage Plans. It implies they are run by Medicare, not for-profit insurance companies.

Very concise and clear explanations. Thank you!

I attended your 7 day video self paced introduction to Medicare. My wife and are both 62 and getting a head start on taking advantage educating ourselves. We will continue to check out your excellent content. We plan on working with you when the time comes. Thanks again

Hey, Danielle, the print translation with this video, starting about 3:28, says "school discussing" where it should say "skilled nursing". Don't know if this can be corrected, but thought you should know. Thanks for all the great info you provide!

I agree LTC is an issue and needs to be considered, but the numbers are misleading.
I’m a physician BTW
70% needing LTC is too high. That number includes in home services, and relatively shorter time periods of facility and hospice care at any point.
The 20% requiring lengthy nursing home care is also exaggerated.
Yes these are real risks and we have some LTC insurance, but the great majority of people at age 65 will not need extended long term care. Once you reach 85-90 the numbers do start to rise, but by that time a lot of persons have passed.
Most all of the very old get taken care of in some way, whether it is family, portfolio, or public assistance.
Be more focused on the early and middle years of retirement. That is where I see the most stress as to health issues and costs.

Many companies stopped underwriting LTC because it is too expensive and they lose money.

Government representatives who have allowed this to become so complicated and with so many complex rules should be imprisoned for derilection of duties to properly represent us and the funds we contributed for 50 years of our lives. I am disgusted and overwhelmed with the social security process and Healthcare process. And disheartened that the Insurance PAC has found it's way into do many pockets to our detriment.

I am retired and collecting SS. I enrolled on Part A only on 65th birthday (3/2020) and have been on my wife's insurance (company over 20 employees) for about 8 years. I now wany to enroll and Part B and buy Parts D and G. When is the enrollment period using the SEP rule? I would like to start the full Medicare program within the next 3 months if possible. Thanks for your help.

I love Boomer Benefits. I never would've been able to navigate Medicare on my own. They did all the heavy lifting and they were an invaluable asset.

I am thinking to switch from advantage plan to supplement plan. I turned 65 this year and I enrolled advantage plan first . I can use this 1year trial period right without underwriting any time within 12 months? Some site says not 60days earlier than trial period ending date. Some agents from insurance companies don't seem to be familiar this right. I live in NJ.

QUESTION IF IM ON medicare advantage and turn 65 qualifying for original medicare. Can i after a yr later get on original medicare without going thru underwriting?

Do you have any videos on what veterans who have VA insurance, and are approaching age 65 should do about Medicare?

[dellparker]

Who would we call to get a good long term care policy?

[davidcloninger]

THEY JUST TRYING TO SALE INSURANCE PERIOD.
