Interrupting a lengthy run, our usual kick-off feature has been temporarily suspended: No Medicare Advantage Minute article warning new Medicare eligibles about the dangers of MA plans.

In our other regular segment we learn how Medicare might cover Gym memberships and fitness programs.

Possibly the shortest segment in “Your Medicare Benefits 2024” history! 

In Iowa news, a nurse has been sentenced to a stretch in the Big House for allowing a patient under her care to die of neglect. This episode reminded me of those I have helped escape MA plans after they were forced to endure substandard rehab facilities while recovering from surgical procedures.

With a Medicare supplement plan, you have complete freedom of choice as to where you seek treatment!

I go through a list of seven changes in Medicare for 2025. You would think we already know about all of these!

Another guessing game with the Podcast Producer: name the safest and the most dangerous states in America!

Finally, I run through a list of Medicare myths!

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!
