Medicare and Long-Term Care-It's What All the Cool Kids are Doing...or Are They?
with Gary Krueger
Participate in a lively discussion led by local Medicare specialist Mary Hansen. Mary returns to LLI this year in order to inform us as to how Medicare is changing for 2027 with the Medicare Annual Enrollment Period from October 15-December 7. It is not one size fits all-whether you're turning 65 or if you have been enrolled for a while. If you are turning 65 soon, what steps do you need to take? Seems like there are a lot of rules-how do you know which ones are important? What if you are not healthy-what concerns should you have?
Determining the best method to fund Long-Term care is the challenge. We will talk about the different options available and how to evaluate them.
