The Medicare Changes Retirees Can’t Afford to Ignore

Jess, I think it's so important to really understand Medicare.

More importantly, to understand your Medicare supplement, how it integrates with your coverage for Medicare.

It's huge.

All supplements are not created equal.

Having a really strong supplement is everything.

But, you know, there's going to be a lot of changes for 2027.

And I think it's going to be important to look at your medications and see if they're covered the same way, if the cost is going to be more, and how they're going to be covered differently.

buy your supplement as well.

How are those going to integrate? But you know, knowledge is power.

And in retirement, you really need to figure that out.

But as things become more expensive, we're going to see lots of cuts.

But $700 is a lot, Jess.

And you need to find out how that's going to affect you in retirement.

You know, we talk about lots of things.

You know, we talk about income plans.

We talk about tax plans.

We talk about long-term care strategies.

But Medicare is a big one.

It really is.

And, you know, a lot of people don't realize when they have to start taking Medicare.

And they also don't understand what we call the Medicare tax.

All of a sudden...

People think Medicare is free.

Well, it's free for a lot of people, but not for everyone.

And you really need to figure out how that's gonna affect you.
