  • Ep. 655 - Is the Medicare Advantage bubble about to burst?
    May 22 2024

    MA plans are preparing to undergo financial stress in coming years. This may cause them to cut back on the extra benefits some of them include.

    One carrier was cited as choosing "(profit) margins over (adding) membership"!

    Enterprising insurance agents in Utah may have devised a clever way to excuse rate increases to their clients: blame them on the state!

  • Ep. 653 - Supplement Plan F is not your friend anymore! Let me help!
    May 17 2024

    According to our first article, Plan F is Changing from a Cadillac into a Yugo! The prognosis is even worse with many large rate increases just ahead.

    A widowed acquaintance asked me for help just days after her husband (my old friend) suffered an untimely death. Instead of taking my advice, she ignored my warnings and allowed herself to be victimized by an unscrupulous agent seeking a fat commission for a new sale.

    Finally, I summarize the blatant facts illustrated by a series of charts: inflation has caused Medicare Supplement premiums to rise more quickly in recent years. On the other hand, premiums for High Deductible Medicare Supplement plans have enjoyed much more rate stability in spite of the poor economy.
