It’s a shame that medical coverage has become so convoluted and confusing, particularly for those who are technologically adverse.

I’m a retired educator in Georgia…retired after 33.5 years of service in Ga. I was told by the people at the state health benefit plan services that there was a Medicare Adv. plan offered to retired teachers upon turning age 65, but I was told I had to accept it at that point ( age 65 ) or lose it forever. I don’t know why they make you choose their Medicare Adv. Plan or lose it right then? I did end up accepting the MA plan with prescription drug coverage. It includes Medicare part D as you stated. My health costs are covered by Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield. The drug coverage is covered by a different company, and there is that 7000 dollar plus out of pocket ( Stage 3 ) that you were talking about included in the plan ( only I was told by my Medicare Adv. people that I would not move to stage 4 until I paid over 7000 out of pocket for drugs PER YEAR all total MYSELF…..but not sure the lady knew what she was talking about.). You still have to be part of Medicare to join this Med. Adv. plan I’m on, which I am, and I am eligible for of course, and I do pay Medicare premiums….I have part A and part B. But I also pay premiums for this Medicare Adv. plan, which includes drug coverage, so it’s costly when you add up all the premiums. I pay a copay at the doc’s office and there is no deductible for Part B. There is a total out of pocket of around 3500 for part B, with hospital coverage being somewhat different but it still has a stop gap type of out of pocket coverage to keep me from going broke should I ever need hospital coverage. The plan with Medicare advantage is similar to the one I had with anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield when I was still working as a teacher…,only now I’m also paying for Medicare ( except part A ) as well as the Medicare Adv. Plan. However, I’m wondering if the new rules coming out in 2023, 2024 and 2025 will apply to this Medicare advantage plan with regard to drug coverage. ???

Hi Matthew. Great video! I like this format. Just you, one camera view, no alternate camera views of the side of your head🙂. I think the graphics, lists, etc. are extremely helpful in understanding the options. When you create new videos, please use this format. It's not distracting and it's easier to understand. You mentioned that KZfaq recommended alternate camera views to keep views interested. In my opinion, when the subject matter is of interest to the viewer, and presented clearly, as you did in this video, the viewer will continue to watch. I like that you give a chapter list to viewers can skip to sections that are of interest to them. I've learned so much from your videos and will be contacting your company in the next few weeks.
