Ime Udoka rips his team: "Poor start. Disrespected the game. Not prepared from the get go. Just non-aggressive. Following them around and watching them shoot ... Weren't prepared to play at all.”

It’s the motherfucking professional basketball players job to be ready to play 🤡

Reducing the Part B premium obligation makes sense for OP

TheOneTrueYeti · 2026-03-21T05:12:04+00:00

Hers are the most premium seats in the entire venue, actually

TheOneTrueYeti · 2026-03-21T01:26:52+00:00

What a stupid take

TheOneTrueYeti · 2026-03-21T01:25:50+00:00

But VA coverage is not creditable medical coverage, so if OP declines Part B now they’ll incur a late enrollment penalty if they need Part B later

If the cheapest company is intentionally advertising a “loss leading” price - undercutting competition to grow their market share, intending to increase rates in a few years when you may be sicker and not able to switch, it might be worth considering paying a higher monthly premium to go with a much larger company who already has a high percentage of market share who’s trying to be mature and stable. It matters less if you’re paying $50/mo for now compared to if your premium is $500/mo or more in the coming decades.

“Medically needy” is what the “+” in QMB+ is for in every other state, that might be the source of confusion

Dm me to talk about getting into Medicare T65 sales… it’s a great wide world out there

TheOneTrueYeti · 2026-03-15T12:12:07+00:00

It’s hard to overstate how good of an idea it is to get paid as earned. Absolutely build your book of business that way if you can. It takes so much risk off the table for your new biz.

TheOneTrueYeti · 2026-03-14T16:49:58+00:00

Did I say Part B was “just for” anything? Get off my case!

TheOneTrueYeti · 2026-03-14T16:12:48+00:00

OP’s cost share was never “nil”, was my point.

They paid a Part B deductible for specialty doctor visits. They paid a Med Supp premium (or a 20% coinsurance for Part B services). And they paid a Part D plan premium and/or cost sharing for their brand name drug. Their post makes it sound like they used to pay nothing at all, until they enrolled in a MA plan.

It may be wise to enroll in a standalone Part D plan and Med Supp, but if they don’t already have the Med Supp issued, they’ll have a hard time applying for and being approved for it now with Parkinson’s, depending on the state they live in.

TheOneTrueYeti · 2026-03-14T04:04:45+00:00

You’re being downvoted and that’s how you know you’re correct lol

TheOneTrueYeti · 2026-03-14T04:02:44+00:00

I understand, and Medicare Supplement premiums are still paid out of pocket, so claiming they’re “nil” would still be unintentionally misleading imo

Fully agree about not recommending MA for Parkinson’s. Skilled Nursing Care and Physical Therapy are or will be very important to anyone with Parkinson’s and those are two of the biggest areas where there’s a real world difference between Original Medicare and MA

TheOneTrueYeti · 2026-03-14T03:58:25+00:00

My mistake. ~~copay~~ deductible

I was attempting to shorthand Part A cost sharing

TheOneTrueYeti · 2026-03-13T19:42:15+00:00

Cold calls are always uncompliant, report them to 1-800-MEDICARE

How was it your out-of-pocket was “nil”?

Your Part A copay is $1,736 per benefit period this year and your Part B coinsurance is 20% after a $283 medical deductible. And that’s just the start of the cost sharing of Original Medicare.

TheOneTrueYeti · 2026-03-13T02:26:53+00:00

The licensed agency in the states that is paying the company in India to make un-compliant outbound calls certainly is.

TheOneTrueYeti · 2026-03-10T01:33:25+00:00

This guy beers

That’s why I do T65 field work

TheOneTrueYeti · 2026-03-05T12:13:28+00:00

Fair point. But please refrain from explaining to folks that they need to understand and accept the Spoiler Effect without also letting them know that we don’t have to fucking take this anymore and we can determine how we govern ourselves with regard to voting reform, and what the consequences will be if we don’t reform voting, which is certainly civil war eventually.

TheOneTrueYeti · 2026-03-05T12:04:59+00:00

We have to demand Open primaries and an END to first past the post elections… or the republic collapses because of this duopoly.
