Program note: Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain! This episode was recorded after I endured the “Fungus Among Us” but is  presented out of order. References to my disease should be ignored.

The “Peoples’ Action Network” sounds like the Symbionese Liberation Army. On at least one day last summer they expressed interest in making a health insurance company more accountable to its customers.

In Your Medicare Benefits 2024, we learn how Medicare will help you if you have more than one serious medical condition and need expert assistance.

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.

Thus was born Medicare for the Lazy Man!
