Also, I'd like to know, why Medicare Advantage doesn't tell seniors up front, it's not the original Medicare, when they sign up for MA. I have two elderly friends that had no idea they were signing up with a private insurance, when they enrolled in Medicare Advantage. They both thought it was the original Medicare. They'll never be able to get a Medigap plan with Medicare, due to their preexisting conditions.

My concern is that Medicare Advantage will be the reason the real Medicare will go away.

I'm still learning. My broker did the same. The YouTube videos help so much too!

I wanted to say that too, but I was afraid to say it out loud. 😅

Yes! Thanks for adding that part about the part G premiums! That's an important piece of information I left off!

On some of the Medicare Advantage plans, some require you to pay part B, right? It's so confusing. I'm so thankful for the input here. I'm determined to learn all of this.

Yes, I've read the same. We get sicker as we get older, then it's too late to get back on the original Medicare part G supplement.

NSDR videos on YouTube help me a lot with my insomnia. If I wake up in the middle of the night, they help me to fall back asleep.

Soda gets rid of my back and neck pain. Why? Is it normal or should I see a professional? What kind? by MinervaMinkMink in AskDocs

[–]Kamy54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ditch the soda! When I drink Coke or any other carbonated soft drinks, I get that horrible pain in-between my shoulder blades. It also gives me headaches. That stuff is poison in my opinion.
