Not a new story but one that bears repeating. This is one of many warnings that responsible insurance pros should share with clients.

From the “Medicare” page on Wikipedia we learn about how the hospital and Nursing facility benefits are renewed after a period without the need for treatment.

Medicare supplement rate increases follow the pattern: in some places 20% increases for Plan G but 0% for HDG. Result? The smart HDG buyer saves more and risks even less.

Finally, valued client Bob is approaching his first year with United American’s High Deductible Plan G. Does he need to consider alternatives that might be an improvement?  Not “NO”, but HELL NO!

Douglas B. Jones Author: Medicare for the Lazy Man, Simplest & Easiest Guide Ever!; Medicare Enrollment Guide (Download free from my site); Medicare Drug Plans, A Simple D-I-Y Guide!;

Doug Jones burst forth from Oklahoma like a prairie tornado, born of an Omaha Beach victor and the shortest-serving Miss Oklahoma in history. He was such an accomplished student that nine years of undergrad studies eventually earned him a BA degree from the University of Arizona.
Having been branded at birth with the John Hancock Signature, he became the third generation of a life insurance dynasty founded in 1920. Eventually, a genuine dedication to health insurance conferred black sheep status, causing him to strike out on his own.
Decades later, friends began to pester him about Medicare, angling for free advice. After a period of deep contemplation and reflection, Doug arrived at conclusions and formed some opinions that place him squarely at odds with many other Medicare experts.
Thus was born Medicare for the Lazy Man!
