45 Day Sprint: Help Me Help You

So many know so little about Medicare The list of objections is quite amazing (I could write another book): a. I am upset, I paid all this money and Medicare doesn't cover anything.... b. No additional premium? Too good to be true.... c. It's Obamacare's fault.... d. It's big pharma's fault e. It's insurance companies' fault f. It's...oh you get it Tuning Out? That Doesn't Work The issue is that this results in 1) people tuning out the knowledge that is needed to protect their health and retirement savings, and 2) the healthcare system is much worse off because people are not protected, and leave unpaid bills with the healthcare system that must be paid by someone. That is YOU. Much, Much Better Information Needed The government and insurance companies are restricted in perverse ways. Government doesn't explain the parts that Medicare doesn't cover, it is involved in a "Medicare is great" campaign. Insurance companies are regulated and want to sell their own offerings. Division on Aging and other government-sponsored advocate groups are involved in activities they are entirely unqualified to execute with no liability whatsoever.  Indiegogo campaign 45 days to raise funds for a) Spanish translation b) Audiobook c) Instructional videos. Written and spoken in plain-spoken English that people can understand. You can listen to my explanations as spoken everywhere on this blog. These messages are valuable to all Medicare beneficiaries, even those that are "all set. Please help me get the valuable information of Maximize Your Medicare to the hands of the many.

Maximize Your Self-Published Book

No, I am not writing another book (yet)
Maximize Your Medicare is doing well, all things considered.  It is consistently within the top 3 of print books and the same for the ebook version (as demonstrated on amazon.com).  It needs help to reach a larger audience.  You can read about me, and see that I am not a writer by training, which means that I knew nothing about the book publishing business. You can thank good fortune for that, because if I knew then what I know now, I wouldn't have even started this book.  While I knew that the information in the book does not exist in the market in the manner that I present it, it is the result of the responses received that further outreach to a wider audience is required.

Funds Needed for Translation and Further Outreach
Small communities everywhere, regardless of economic status, can use a $10 book that clearly explains Medicare.  In financially disadvantaged areas, there is advice in the book that can them those people that need the information the most.  What you may not realize is that if the underprivileged do not know, and medical bills are left unpaid, the feedback effect affects everyone.  Let's leave the sermonizing to the side. Think of the real estate foreclosure in your neighborhood, and it effect on the price of your home: this type of feedback effect is everywhere, not only with those that cannot pay medical bills.  Bottom line: the book has only scratched the surface in its potential to you, your family, someone you know, and communities everywhere.

Indiegogo
Indiegogo is a fund-raising platform.  I have begun a campaign which will last for 45 days.  The goal is $10,000, which is nowhere near enough: it will only be enough to begin two basic steps, translation into Spanish, and outreach to communities everywhere.  Click here to see the campaign.
