FYI, if you take expensive prescription meds, 2025 will bring a $2000 limit on out-of-pocket cost sharing for covered drugs.

This failed attempt to buy votes in the recent election has left behind a trail of unintended consequences and unanticipated turmoil.

Mr. Young pays another visit to the podcast to ask how this new limit is likely to work with his prescriptions for Otezla and Skyrizi.

My speculation is that the Feds will find a way to mess it up.

In the Medicare Advantage Minute: “The sickest patients are fleeing private Medicare plans, costing taxpayers billions!” MA plans do not like spending Money on after-hospital care, no matter how great the need.

How is your Medicare supplement rated: Attained age, issue age or community? You shouldn’t listen to so-called “unbiased” advisors!

A southern MD with a lengthy drug list waited too long to attempt the move to Medicare supplement. His Advantage plan’s pharmacy benefit is just too good to leave for a stand alone Part D drug plan.

Steve invited himself to our Christmas party but we have to ask the sponsors their opinion, since they are the ones picking up the tab.

Douglas B. Jones Author: Medicare for the Lazy Man

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!
