  • Ep. 848 - Shock and awe: Democrats object to potential loss of freedom in Medicare!
    Aug 27 2025

    Insurers pull Medicare Advantage plans as profit pressures mount: This from the "Medicare Advantage Minute"

    In the "Your Medicare Benefits 2025" we learn how Medicare is likely to cover Outpatient hospital services.

    Friend of the podcase, Steve sent an article addressing "Targeted Medicare Cuts" and how they can save money while reducing risk.

    How about a side trip to Social Security Land? Someone named Rusty has an advisory column and fielded a question from a reader about when the best time might be to start collecting Social Security benefits might be.

    Normally Democrats are on the opposite side of almost every possible subject from me but we now find ourselves connected like Siamese twins over support for the freedom from prior authorization in Original Medicare. I am dazed and confused by my unexpected alliance!

    Finally, we have a new member of the podcast audience who hangs her hat in South Dakota ...er Nebraska sometimes.

    I expect her to join the ranks of my happy clients as well!

  • Ep. 847 - Correspondence has arrived: the kind of mail I absolutely HATE to receive!
    Aug 25 2025

    We start off with the Medicare Advantage Minute: "The Great Medicare Advantage Contraction Appears Set to Continue!"

    Then, in the "Your Medicare Benefits" segment we learn how Medicare is likely to cover "Other Transplants. These are not organ transplants, but might include stem cells, bone morrow and corneas.

    In the afore-mentioned "Mail I Absolutely hate to Receive" segment, yours truly is kicked in the teeth by a marital difference of opinion.

    After that we are treated to a communication about the horrible consequences that one man is enduring as a result of ignoring my often-repeated advice. Part of the tragedy? Having to stifle the "I told you so!" urge!

    Finally, Stalker Susie checks in to congratulate Randy on his sartorial splendor!

  • Ep. 846 - Why do I have to call some insurance dope to get a Medicare supplement quote?
    Aug 22 2025

    The first report today is entitled: "Medicare Advantage Legislation in Congress - Five Bills to Know!" That is today's Medicare Advantage Minute segment!

    The "Your Medicare Advantage 2025" reading tells us how Medicare is likely to cover Ostomy supplies.

    United Healthcare is going through some unsettling times. Here we present twelve updates for your insurance news reading pleasure!

    Why do I have to call somebody to get a Medicare supplement (medigap) quote? In my opinion, the reasons presented in this article are bogus. If you go to my website MedicareForTheLazyMan.com and fill out a questionnaire, you will receive quotes for several (usually at least 1/2 dozen) Medicare supplement companies drawn from my portfolio of excellent insurance companies by return e-mail. No need to call anyone!

    Finally, where are the most beautiful hospitals in the USA located? Hint: the facility judged most beautiful of all is NOT located in Massachusetts!
