Promised to be a fountain of knowledge for all things Medicare, our episode guest, Jim Bodenner, doesn't disappoint. An active member of The Villages, Jim's invaluable insights into Medicare plans will prove essential, whether you're new to the system or just looking to stay updated. We delve into the meaty differences between traditional Medicare and Medicare Advantage plans, and extensively discuss the pertinent questions to ask when comparing a Medicare supplement to an Advantage Plan. Jim also highlights how these plans have transformed over the years, and gives us an insight into the new Cadillac of Medicare - the G Plan.
We also get to explore the SHINE program and understand the implications of signing up for a Medicare Advantage plan at 65, with Jim highlighting some exceptions to the rule. And that's not all! Jim takes us through the commendable efforts by the National Retail Regulatory Legislative Network to reduce healthcare costs, including the capping of insulin costs and total out-of-pocket expenses. Plus, you'll want to take notes as Jim enlightens us with his "Plan for Life Checklist", an extensive guide to organizing life essentials that you won't want to miss. Join us for a riveting conversation on Medicare plans, life preparations, and much more!
