Ever feel like the threat of medical bills and confusing insurance rules hangs over every healthcare decision? In this episode, Stacy sits down with healthcare advocate Anne McGuire to bring real clarity to the choices women face after losing a spouse, going through divorce, or suddenly finding themselves uninsured. Together, they break down the systems that feel impossible to navigate and give listeners the confidence to make smart, informed decisions about their coverage and long-term protection.
You'll hear them discuss:
How losing a spouse, divorcing, or facing a sudden job loss can reshape insurance options overnight
What COBRA actually offers, when it makes sense, and why the cost often shocks people
The major differences between staying on COBRA and switching to marketplace insurance
How Medicare fits into the picture for anyone 65+ experiencing an insurance transition and the deadlines that can’t be missed
Why access to existing doctors can disappear with a plan change, and how to protect those relationships
What long-term care really covers (and what it doesn’t), especially for women who may age alone
How long-term care insurance pays out in real life and why it’s often misunderstood
The financial reality of self-insuring long-term care needs versus buying coverage
