Medicare ABCs LIVE Webinar

Monday, August 29th, 11:00AM (EST)
Some people would rather have a verbal explanation, because a book may create followup questions. Some people don't know where to begin to ask. I wrote Maximize Your Medicare to address this, and the audience is enormous: more than 9,000 will turn 65 everyday in the United States. This will continue for most of the next 2 decades.
You Can Ask Me Questions LIVE
I will go through Medicare and explain its components. I will explain how it differs from health insurance that many have been used to. I have done so at libraries, senior centers, and on talk radio shows. I have heard and seen the level of uncertainty on people's faces and in their voices. Adult-age children need to have this information: you get pulled into the situation, and usually (unfortunately), under unfavorable circumstances. Caregivers face questions continuously regarding what Medicare covers, and what it does not.
Money Back Guaranteed
At $3.99, it is inconceivable (to me, I am biased) that you will not get your money back. There will be information that is not widely known, until it may be too late. Frequently, this could have been avoided. In any case, if you join the Webinar, and find that it isn't worth the $3.99, then I will refund your money. Guaranteed.

AARP's Stake in the Medicare / Fiscal Cliff Debate

AARP Is Highly Influential
Everywhere you go, the AARP is there.  On TV, in the mail.  Medicare beneficiaries are flooded with advertisements.  In addition, it is a highly influential lobbying group in favor of retired people.  This article in the Washington Post points out that the current fiscal cliff debate may affect the AARP's bottom line.

4.95% Commission to the AARP
Perhaps the most revealing statement is the fact that the AARP receives 4.95% commission, in effect.  So, when you purchase a policy "endorsed" by a group that is purportedly supposed to be an advocate for retirees, the AARP has another motive, pure profit.

Bottom Line: The "Advice" Can't Be Totally Unbiased
This post doesn't suggest that the AARP is representing something that is factually wrong.  However, it points out that, on balance, any party may have motives to sway a consumer, under a different guise, to purchase a particular product.

Maximize Your Medicare Doesn't Have Extra Strings Attached
Maximize Your Medicare: Understanding Medicare, Protecting Your Health, and Minimizing Costs is free of any other motive than providing comprehensive information to Medicare beneficiaries.  Hospitals that care about their patients should be providing samples to their most important customers. Physicians can help themselves and their patients by supplying copies, especially to those turning 65, when insurance can be purchased without restriction.  The recent developments regarding the fiscal debate are making protecting yourself, by yourself, even more important.
