I have a neighbor that works receiving calls about medicare benefits. I ask her about the commercials touting $0 copays, free dental, free rides, etc, etc, she says some of that is true... but you must also be on Medicaid for those benefits touted.
I thought there was a reason I pay premiums of $336.50 a month!
Does she work for the SHIP hotline? My friend does and he gets a lot of of calls from people very disappointed by Medicare Advantage. Plenty of threads on this here but they make money by denying/delaying coverage and restricting you to a narrow network. My Dad was aggressively sold a MA plan and hated it by was able to switch back to traditional Medicare in the first 3 months of coverage. I'd seen Joe Willie on TV in the gym (I have Netflix at home) and mentioned it to my friend. He said he actually does get calls from people who want what Joe is selling.
