Why are Medicare (dis)Advantage plans swimming in advertising cash? How can they make so many promises to lure in the gullible TV watchers? Where do they get all of their money to throw around?
As if that weren't enough, we dip into the accumulated mail to answer the questions posed by Jim, Jeff and Glen (who said my book was "fantastic & funny)!

The new figures for next year represent a giant leap forward in a time when we wish to stay back. Not a full 2022 report, just a taste of what is to come.
In addition to sharing that unpleasant news, we dip into the MLM Mailbag for a couple of choice items.

Barbara is seeking that rarest of all economic phenomena: the elusive Free Lunch! Her search is a stark reminder that benefits don't grow on trees.
If a government mandates that insurance must pay for extras, the cost for those extras will be borne by everyone, and government will continue to expand.

Your friendly Medicare bureaucrats have created a lengthy list of things they don't like.
They think you are too delicate and easily duped to allow your insurance agent to speak with you like an adult. He must follow their instructions to the letter.
...or else!

Through a Health Care Power of Attorney, you can appoint a trusted proxy to make sure your treatment preferences are complied with by the medical professionals.
This can be an important measure of protection both during periodic illnesses as well as at the end of life.

If one is paying the relatively high monthly premium for a supplement Plan F or G, consider changing to HDG. If your current premium is high and the HDG premium is low, you pocket the difference.
That "difference" you pocket just might be larger than your annual deductible.
If so, it makes perfect sense to switch to the HDG if you are able to!

It doesn't take a genius to figure out why most people avoid performing such dull and painful exercises each year.
Good news for you Medicare supplement plan holders: you never have to think about reviewing your coverage ever again.
Congratulations!

The only Medicare Advantage plan I know of that provides complete freedom of choice (just like supplement plans): Medicare MSA.
I proudly represent the product from Lasso Healthcare as alternative to the dreck promoted by a bunch of fast-talking TV pitchmen! This is a Medicare policy that actually pays the insured thousands of dollars to spend, save or invest as they see fit.
